Got some new KDW2's!

I just got my 235/40/ KDW2's put on yesterday. On the stock rims too fyi. They look badass, not sure how they grip yet, haven't really gotten on them yet. My stockers still have a little life to them but I was ready to get new tires. I'll be going to the track next Wednesday night to test these puppies out. I could cut low 2.2 to mid 2.1 60's with the stock crap, I'm dying to see what the KDW's let me hit.

Nice choice. Although from my past experiences the kdw isnt the greatest track tire. Its an awesome tire and great for farting around town but there are better track tires out there.

Heres the newest addition for the Lexus. 275/35 ZO6 status ftw!!

yeah I don't doubt there is better track tires, if I ever get this stinking 300ZX going I'll just be using the Cobalt to cruise around in. I just wanted something better than the stock crap, I'm sure they still hook better than those did.

275's are some seriously fat tires too, no tractions problems in the Lexus now huh?

Does the tire balloon over the stock rim at all? I was wanting to go that big too but I was affraid that the stock rims wouldnt be so forgiving.. Is there any way you can put up some PICS???? please post pics!!

Alright here are some pics. I don't think they balloon out to much, I think its about perfect looking.

Traction isnt a problem at the moment, but Im still stock


No doubt these tires will hook up better than stock though. They look good dude.

Thanks guys, I think the tires give it a much more aggresive look. I took it up for an oil change yesterday afternoon and the techs at the dealer were impressed with them. They were all saying they think those should have come stock instead of the Pirelli's

What kind of shot you wanting? Side view, front, rear? I'll get a few more today while I'm out.

Alright got some pics from a distance, at different angles. The camera I had at hand blows, the color is terrible. Also the car is dirty as hell, I haven't gotten around to washing it yet but here you go.











And the one piece of rice on my car!
