I'm buying some BFG KDW GF 2's from tirerack and wanted to know from the VA boys where to go get them mounted? And how much is it gonna cost? Thanks.

 

Sup big Lek getting new shoes.

 

hmmmm.... it might rain today

 

checkout TireRack's recommended installers page... lists some good shops, their numbers and price ranges...

 

Ye Olde Wheel Shop prob. does it and since everyone recommends it? Of course you could always go to NTB or Just Tires and they'll do it for you too.

 

Its cool how Lek comes up with a car related post once in a while ..lol

 

arjun, its not car related and he knows it. he just wants to post 'something' but it always turns into a pic thread, hence why he posts!

 

Lek is this the look you're thinking of goin with after you grow out that mullet?

 

KDW's are supposedly crappy, but good for all season.

 

if you want performance tires, check out the new falken rt615's. word is amazing on them right now... and the price is good.

^i dunno where you heard that from...KDW 2s are not for all season, only wet/dry traction (rain). try them in the snow?? good luck!!

And as for crappy, they have some of the best ratings in terms of an ultra high performance tire...even better than michelin pilots, they only get rated low for their road noise...but with our cars having tire feathering issues..road noise comes with the territory on OEM tires...

better rated than toys T1s, michelin pilots, falken grbs, nitto nt555s....

 

now now P, don't get ahead of yourself... KDW's are nice and get great ratings for their class (ultra HP), but Pilot Sports are Max HP... I'll prob get KDW's when I need to switch, but for now, I'm loving my PS2's...

 

vic the kdw's do make alot of road noise, and do wear faster than ur avg. tire...but as for looks and performance and wet/dry traction...u cant beat em!!

 

sorry, i meant rain/dry, not all season. and as i said, if he's looking for pure performance, then he shouldn't get these tires. there're tons of tires out there that're much stickier for about the same price, if not less. if he wants some g-forces, get the KD:

and i got my info from the evo forums. the general consensus is that they're competent for daily driving in wet/dry conditions, but in terms of performance they're definitely "compromise" tires.

the toyo t1-s' aren't known to be very good tires... only toyos i'd consider are the ra-1s. i don't have much experience with the others, but nitto has never impressed me.

 

decisions decisions...let me check some local shops.
