needing new tires, after getting some prices im between these 2 tires. the toyo t1r i can get in the stock 215/45r18 or the kdw nt (kdwII) in 225/40r18. the guy im dealing with is tellimg me the toyo is a better tire overall, however i see the treadwear is rated lower (i know you cant truly compare tires from different manufacturors). ive heard a lot of good things on the kdw nt and not much on the toyo t1r. im leaning to the kdw but am still on the fence.

thoughts, comments, opinions???

 

You are getting a UHP and worried about treadwear?!

 

not a huge concern of mine, but still something to think about. some uhp tires melt off in no time, some last quite a while.

 

I have the KDW-IIs.

They are the stickiest tires I have ever driven...sweet sweet tires

 

my brother says toyo t1r's are the ****. expensive though your paying for the brand, he put two on the front of his GTI, the ****** railed hard man.

 

i have the kdw 2's they blow my ***** off!

 

I've been running the T1R's and the wear is def. much better than the stock Pirellis...i had the front tires gone in no time with the PZeros, but the Toyos have lasted thru numerous burnouts and they handle quite well also

 

hmmm i run mine on 235 40 18 nitto 555......great control i love them and alot of guys have complemented me on my wheels and tires......have never lost traction and i run my car hard. i actually found a site i cant remember what it was exactly but i seen my tires for around $120 each which is a really good deal

here it goes i found them for $114 each

its wider than stock ss....FTW

 

nice site, r they reliable? im gonna have my friend buy tires from the tonight

 

im not sure but i was just searching and i came up with that. all i did was type in nitto 555 235 40 18 and there it was my current tires for half of what i paid where i got mine....

 

im unable to get nitto tires locally and its far to cost prohibitive to ship tires across the border into canada. my dad is service manager at a tire shop, i can get a decent price on toyo michilen and bfg. i ruled out michilen cause they are just to pricey, so im down to bfg or toyo

 

I would go with the BFG......partly because they're reviewed so well.......and partly because they look totally bad ass!

 

I like the KDW's. I had them on my Ion and Im about to buy a set for the Lexus. Great tire for daily driving, twisties and in the rain and thread wera is amazing. Not the greatest tire for the track though...

 

YEA BFG look nice and i hear alot of good things about them....but that price....i think ill stick with my nitto's. Nitto is a pretty bad as tire too...

 

TRUST IN THE KDW NT's.

They don't **** around. especially compared to those stupid ******* Toyo's.

lol i've driven with both. KDW FTW!

 

Falken Azenis Rt615

 

falkens are also bad, i had those on my 99 sonoma

 

just to update, i ordered the bfg kdw 2 today, they get put on thursday.

 

Sweet deal.

And why are Falken crappy?

They are better than the pirelli POS on there...and are cheap as ****.

I liked my falkens
