    Tires are the biggest viariable in spring rate and driving style becomes a factor as well.

      Are you talking about on a road course or every day driving? Brian hit the nail on the head again, it all depends on what you want out of the tires. I never wanted anymore out of those tires than what they gave me, but thats because I knew what they were, cheap tires.

        Like a female or a vehicle, there is no such thing a the perfect tire. Every one wants a tire that gives excellent traction, has a tread life of 50,000 miles,cheap, rides smooth and quiet,. They have these tires but them are make of unobtainium

              I think they are an awesome street tire. Look killer, hook pretty well and have decent treadlife. A buddy had them on his mustang back in high school and loved them. The only negative thing I have to say about them is when they get towards the end of treadwear they get kinda loud. But our cars aren't quiet so it generally isn't an issue. Treadlife is going to be the same as your Nittos

                SRT-4 ACRs came with the original KDW on them from the factory (cause the LT wasn't out yet). Buddy of mine has one, and he really liked the tires. He runs the car around autocross courses a lot, so his opinion influenced my decision to check out KDW2s for mine...
