Anyone running Nitto Invos???
bfg kdw front and falken azenis 315/30/18 back. 315/30/18 bfg drag radials on extra set of wheels;-)
I just went from the Goodyear Eagle F1s to the GS-D3s up front (275/45/17). GS-D3s FTW!!! They are an incredible tire compared to the F1s. Almost feels like a luxury sport car now. lol.
I run Nitto 555RIIs in the rear (275/45/17). Hate them... video... even after heating them up a bit.

i can only run dr's and i do all the time. but, it hardly ever rains around here. street tires in the back are not worth it to me.
so far i have only run the bfg's, but since they are hard to find right now, i will be putting on hoosiers and rotating them with another set of m/t's. looking forward to seeing how they work out!
for fronts i was only running the bfg t/a kd's, but now they are discontinued, and i have bridgestone potenza's up there right now.

same here.. I actually had riken all around on my stock wheels. for the price, they are the best radial i have ever owned, by far. When I was just pullied, and 3.73 gear, I could roll into first gear and it would hook up top and into 2nd. When I ported it, and 4.10 gear, I could do the same in 2nd.
Now with the chromies, I put 315 555r's out back and i added a 3lb lower and a accufab. It is HARD to hook 2nd. I am regretting the nitto's. They have less than 20 miles on them and im already thinking about getting some bfg's.
I run Nitto 555's in the front (265's) and Nitto DR's in the rear. 305/35/18. I haven't had any problems in the rain, but the car can get pretty squirrly if your dumb with the gas
My Cobra came with Sumitomo 315/35/17's on the back when I bought it...got 2 years and about 10k miles out of them, including a road trip from Ohio out to the East Coast of Canada. But don't expect them to hook! You get what you pay for and I view them as a disposable tire. Good if you don't mind wheelspin when ripping in 2nd and sometimes 3rd.

you got alot of miles out of those i didnt get near as much
Perhaps the California heat turned them into dust. In all seriousness though, I was out to Sacramento the summer before last and I could not believe how hot the pavement got out there lol.

BFG up front, and nitto 555r DR out back, and et streets for the track..
kuhmo mx's - 275/35/18 front - 295/35/18 - rear
What sold you guys on the BFG KDW2's? I know the tread looks awesome, but I have read about tire noise and wet traction being less than good. These will be on a daily driver. I am just curious of experiences with that tire, etc. Thanks.
That's what everybody told me also, that they're very noisy. Then again, performance tires aren't suppose to be quiet. I also think the thread design is kinda funky like it should belong on a truck or something.
im about to order some directly from GY, if they still make them. i havent checked. free tires ftw! :rockon:
great tires. same specs as the GS-D3s but quite cheaper. my tire guy highly recommends them. i put them on a local cobra who was adament about getting the goodyears. they were on intergalatic back order so he did some research on the Vreds since my tire guy highly recommends them. he was pleased about their specs and took them. he was very happy when he drove on them.
i have these on my car right now. theyre pretty nice. not much choice in 19". im not spending $$$ on michellins lol. ive put a few sets on some trucks too. i have them on my own truck.
BFG KDW2 335/35/18
those tires are sick!
i did a set on a gt500. VERY expensive tires. weird tread pattern. supposedly pretty good though.
my tire guy doesnt like these at all. he says theyre not very good tires and theyre are much better options (especially for the money). but then again, he's probably thinking more for regular street driving and not :burnout: like the cobra guys do it :dancenana:
i recently had MTET DRs on my car when it rained. i was doing about 30 and baaarely stepped on it (just to see) and sure enough, the back easily started coming out. you just need to be cautious when running them in the rain, that's all.
I have the 315's and I love them!
