Icon2 what are your thoughts on kdw-2 tires??? or any good tires for reasonable price???

hello, im looking to buy 2 new tires for my k20a2 swapped 4 door gsr. so far the BF goodridge kdw-2 caught my eyes over other tires. tire rack is about $260 shipped for 2.

size im planning to run is 225-45-16 so i can stay within reasonable size as oem 205-55-16 rsx-s tire size (5% difference). i could run 225-50-16 and it will be within 1% but that would be really big for a integra lol.

any input on these tires? or any other recommend around the price range?

currently i have 205-40-16 neogens, i dont get traction 1st gear at all, 2nd gear still spins alot till around 6-7k rpm.

thanks for all the input advance!

not a fan. they look cool and thats about it IMO. they are noisy, grip is OK, but there are better options for the same price

they are great tires, you should be able to find them cheaper than that though. I know the last time I bought kdw2's (about 3 years ago) they were about $70 a piece in 225/50-15. They lasted me around 10-12k miles which is really good for me.. especially back then.. 240hp h22 tends to kill tires quick.

I have original kdw's on my s2000, I got those for like 65 each last year.
