The KD is where its at....KDW is not so great

Stock tires are very good as are the azensis and hankook z212.

If you are going to purchase through Edge Racing - Home lmk. I'm looking to get some 18s and maybe we can buy together to save a few $$ on shipping.

what do you guys think about Fuzion ZRI's? my buddy got these on his evo and after taking a ride on them and seeing the price tag, at under a hundred bucks each these are a great deal for as well as they seem to be performing

It all depends on how important cornering performance is to you. If you do not care that much about it, go cheap and long lasting. For me its extremely important, so I go for the very grippy tires than wear out quick and cost a little more. Since it is AWD, straight line grip is not much of an issue.

If lateral grip is highly important, generally stick to summer performance tires 200 tread wear or less. Silica tread compounds are generally a good thing as well

Go with the Falken Azenis.....615's

Fuzion......you get what you pay for......

The KDW's are also on the heavy side and as other's have mentioned become quite loud after wear.....

If you are looking for more of a highway / rain tire & not ultimate grip try the Toyo TR-1 great tire in the Rain, better than average in the dry fairly stiff sidewall & you can get 35-40k out of them

Good info here fellas.

With the stockers being as loud as they are, the KDW's must be really annoying.

B, I'll let you know what I'm planning. Just doing a little research since I still have some time left on the RE070's. I heard about edge racing down at an autocross in Ft. Myers. Great prices.
