why not get the Dunlop SP9000 or Toyo T1S if it's gona be street driving mostly get the higher tread wear .. and RE010 tread wear only 140 , Dunlop FM 901 only 200.. Toyo T1s and Dunlop SP9000 = 280..

I would say 010, based on price alone, and also what I've read here on the board.

This guy is hardcore..... he doesn't care about the tire wear , what he cares is the grip.

Grip?

A038.... FM901 is good choice though.... particularly if you are gonna stay on the streets...

Screw SP9000's they don't compare to the RE730 and certainly the S03.
Good tires but the side walls on these things are way too soft.

Get an S03 or T1-S

I tested them againt the michelin pilot sport and bfg g-force t/a KD. My times were dead even on the bfg and kumhos dry and wet. Michelins sucked in dry conditions but were the best on wet. For the money, can`t go wrong w/ the MX. I think the bfg`s are quite a bit more.

Kumho should give me comission. This is like the 3rd set I`ve sold in 2 days

Honestly, it`s a good tire, I was impressed.

Times..

mx: 30.412
kd: 30.369
pilot: 31.362

G`s:

mx: .88
kd: .88
pilot: .81

This was in an IS300 w/ springs n shocks running 225/40/18 tires.
