I actually love a loud tire. I want all aspects of the experience.
BFG has always been a solid tire for me on and offroad, I think I'm going to stick with them.

I got all my KDWSs half off because I had a problem with the Traction T/As. I really like these tires too..Originally posted by SS4Mattwe don't do any rims or mounting or balancing or anything...we just have "connections" i guess lol to tire-rack so i can get a few bucks off...i think i paid $540 for all 4 of my kDWS's (that's for 275/40Zr17's though) and then mounting and balancing at just about any tire place is usually $15 per tire/wheel so i paid like $600 even for all 4 mounted and balanced.....
but if you buy the tires from like discount tire or belle or something like that...usually mounting and balancing is free....

I just got a set of Nitto 555Rs yesterday and I plan on mounting them up before I head to the track since this set in a little worn, but they were cheap. Once this set goes I'm planning on running DRs all season.Doing less with more

I haven't found a nitto that's cost effective and has good wear characteristics. I have Kumho's on my Z now but I just found these and I may get these Yoko's this year.

Nope they definatly aren't the most cost effective but when you need a DR to hook they are the best for a DD. They last around 15,000 miles and can be driven in the rain, plus drop e.t. at the track.Doing less with more

Agreed, Nitto's are bad ass, I'd love to have some, just not sure if they'd last long enough for what I need.

Well I'd strongly suggest getting them if you need new tires soon, you definatly are going to have traction problems with a stall. With my fuddle 3500 and lid and catback my car could not hook up from a dig too well, but it still made a huge improvement.Doing less with more

Well, I've got the lid and catback and have trouble now. Maybe I'll just buy 2 Nitto 555R's for the back. BTW Jeff, how do you like the Fuddle? I got a recomendation from them and was very impressed, that's who I intend to go with.
