I read reviews... people on the srt's hated them and road noise was high.
I ended up picking up the azenis 615's that arrived today

Honestly... I have too much going on right now with the car to spend the $ for the F1's

I spent about 5000 in the past 2 weeks
and i didnt wanna be "cheap" so i got the azenis due to performance reviews compared to the advans...

originall i was planning a big brake kit and the advans but the supercharger fell into my lap so i went with that.

The KDW2 is WAY WAY WAY overpriced for what you get. It performs similarly to the Kumho Ecsta SPT, but is priced above the Goodyear F1 GS-D3 which vastly outperforms it. If you are going to spend that sort of money there are MUCH better options such as the aforementioned Goodyear as well as the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 and Bridgestone Potenza RE050 Pole Positon. The reason most people like the KDW2 is because it looks cool, not because it performs well.

BTW, the Azenis absolutely spanks (like Chuck Liddell would kick my ***) any of the above tires in the dry, but is not quite as good in the wet. As long as you drive like someone who has a brain when it is wet I think you will find that they complement that kickass Comptech blower quite nicely.

Aren't you gonna need to upgrade your brakes anyway with the added power of the S/C??

I just upgraded my pads and rotors, the pads make big difference once they are worn in so I assume the lines would help also gonna do that next
