Help need new tires!!!

Well 13,000 miles and my front tires are kinda bald.
I hear the BFG T/A KDW's or good but I'm looking for something with better tread life and better traction.

Not sure if I sould trust Pirelli's again but these look promising

Any one use them or am I barking up the wrong tree.

KDW's are the most highly recommended tires on this site, I would guess.

Why don't you just rotate them though? And stop doing burn-outs!

You got me.
Well I did burnout when I first got it.
But I drive alot. I put at least 30 miles on it everyday usually more so it's not to uncommon to need new tires.
I would rotate them but the it means a half to a year from now I'll need 4 new tires instead of 2. They already cost a fortune as it is.
Probably go Summer proformance cuz I live in Florida.
The worst we get is mid 40's usually in the early morning.

Wait...

So you're going to put KDW's on the front and leave the Pirelli's on the rear?

Don't be silly, rotate them, get the best use out of all four and replace them all at once. It'll cost you the same in the long run and you won't look stupid for having two different make/model tires on your ride...

first off even on a FWD car you're supposed to have you best tires in the rear..

second.. you should've been rotating you tires about every 6K miles...

third i drive 25 miles each way to work every day (and i drive pretty hard)and my shitty hancook tires were fine when i got new rims at 22K miles.. and my alignment was out.

so unless you're alignment is fubar.. or you're not taking car of your car correctly you shouldn't need new tires
