Default G-FORCE TA KDW or Falken Azenis?

just ordered set of wheels and was wondering what a better tire would be....G-Force or Azenis?? or if anyone has had experience with a better tire...looking for something that is an awesome summer tire that has excellent dry road grip and equally good wet road grip.

thanks

Oh ya listen to this guy he really know his stuff!

Well it depends what you want from a tire. The Azenis is the best street tire when it comes to grip. It has excellent dry performance but so-so wet performance. The threadlife is about 10-12K. This is a good tire if you don't care for threadlife and want the most grip possible.

The BFG is an overpriced tire. For what you get, you could get similar performance for must cheaper. The Kumho SPT which gives similar performance to the KDW but for much cheaper. The SPT has good dry traction and excellent wet traction (Trust me on this one I have lots of fun in the rain). Also you could get 30-40 K on this one.

Now if you want excellent dry and wet performance and money is not an object then I would go with the Goodyear F1 GS-D3. They are probably second best in dry traction ( Azenis is alot better) but in the wet it is excellent and you get 25-30K on this one.

I have the SPT for daily driving and the Azenis for auto-x and hpde events. If I have a little more money I would get the Goodyears for daily driving and stick with the Azenis for auto-x and hpde events.

If anymore question don't hesitate!

I had those and they do not compare to the Azenis in anyways when it comes to dry performance.

Compare to the SPT (which I have now), the SPT is better in everyway possible! Trust me I know!
