Street tires?

[250sx]

Just curious as to what most of you are running for street tires? I'm a spirited driver with occasional highway racing, my current build is aimed to be sub 500rwhp @ ~2700lbs. I've been guaging interest in either Nitto Invo's, Falken Azenis rt615's, or BFGoodrich KDW2's.

The rear rim(s) are 18x10, I am more than likely aiming for a 275|35.

I've done a lot of research on the three, and the Invo's seem to have impressive reviews, especially from the guys on the corvette forum.

Thoughts, experience, reviews?

Thanks in advanced, Ali.

How about a DR or is that out of the question? With that much power in a light car, it wouldn't be a bad idea. A street tire, the BFGoodrich KDW2's.

My vote goes for the KDW's also, They are a great tire and all my friends have had great sucess with them on their cars also

I really liked my experience with Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's, but that wasn't on a Supra... they were bought more with agility and handling in mind, and in that respect, they were amazing.

i ran bridgestone potenza s02's, they're AWESOME for twisties, but they were a little iffy at higher boost levels in 1st through 4th gear

im currently on P-Zero Rosso's 285/30/18, for highway they are nice, but low down, i just burn em up.

for a streetable grip tire, like everyone else id say KDW

for a not really streetable tire, Advan A048, but dont plan on driving very long on them

I have had great success with Falken Azenis RT615. I also plan purchasing new tires this year and plan on going with KDW2's in the front and a DOT drag radial in the rear.

No matter what you are going to have traction problems with 500 hp and street tires.....I will tell you that the Invos are really good tires though...a friend has them on his srt-8 jeep and they grip like crazy, he was spinning the front tires with the stock goodyears and now is pure grip....

Positive it is. Ill see if I have at home. I rum eagle f1s now.

JW, what are the differences between the KDW2 and the g-Force Sport? I am very happy with my g-force sports (but I'm not anywhere near 500 hp) but also saw BFG KDW and KDW2 tires for sale.

WTF?

Explanation and history? It looks like someone cut the tread off the sidewall.

Summer tires. Had under 5k on them, took them off for winter and stored. Put em back on in spring and had a blow out on the hwy. I happened to be on my way home from work, getting off right before my exit when it happened. They wouldn't warranty the tire either. I'm done w/ them. They still had the little feelers on the sides of them.
