ok..some of ya'll know that my tires are bald and i'm in dire need of new ones..i kept putting it off until i realized, "wow...i have 10% tread left..maybe i should get new tires.." so i did..

My mom wanted to pay for them, but being me, i wouldn't let her. i saved up the money to order 2 and i got These because i heard they were good...and a friend had them and loved them so i had no problem getting them.

about 3 weeks later, i went to order the 2nd two...and they were out of stock. They said it'd be for 4 weeks...so, i waited 4 weeks and then was told it wouldn't be until the end of may. Well, living in fla,it's already started to rain a lot here and my car is a HUGE fan of hydroplaining now...

I looked around and couldn't find the nitto's anywhere...then i rememberd the tires i REALLY wanted. So now i have mis-matched tires...but these are the other ones i just ordered...my new these

So the KDW are going on the back, and the nittos on the front...yay for mis-matched tires. BUT at least i wont be hydroplaining anymore! yayayayayayay!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

 

ok..well, i was excited...

 

I have those Nittos - suck BIG TIME when wet.

I'm getting KDW2's soon

 

Yay!

 

as long as the fronts match and the rears match...your ok

 

haha, well, they don't. oh well....

 

are you sure your not blond? :p

 

Don't worry too much about the front-rear match. On my 8, I currently have the stock dunlops on the front, and Bridgestone REO40's on the rear. Dramatically different tires (Bridgestone's are far softer), but totally easy to drive on. I'd just reccomend putting the tires with the most grip on the rear to ensure understeer at the limit. Definitely post up if you get the KDW2's. I'd love to hear how they do!

 

kind sir...your car came stock with dunlops? how odd....i had the shitty *** potenza's on mine stock.

They ARE the KDW2's...and they're going on the rear. The tires have the same tread wear and all, but the KDW2's are a little softer. But somehow, the same tread wear. oh well...I shall let you know how much i love them/hate them in the next week!

 

my car came with dunlops...why is everyone so surprised about dunlops?

 

earlier cars came with potenza re 040s. laters dunlop sp9000?

 

Dunlop SP Sport 8090

 

dudeness...dont date my car..shhh..i already hate saying it's an 04 and not an 05

 

im proud of my cars age may 03 build and number 700 off the factory...not too shabby.

 

F*$#ing Bridgestone's.

 

i agree....

 

Got the KDW 2 or as Goodrich refers to them, KDW NT which stands for New Tread design. I have 390 miles on them and I'm very happy with them so far. Remember if you get them to follow the break-in procedure recommended by Goodrich for the first 500 miles. They are quieter than stock, run just fine on the grooved concrete freeways of southern California. Once i get them broken in properly I'll see how they handle.

So far so good.

 

there is a break in process?? please elaborate...

 

How much ? Where ?

 

i got them off tire rack....same exact tires...155 for mine.

Back to this break in process.....

 

w00t...here they are! sorry the picture sucks..it's with my phone
