My buddy had those come stock on his SRT4. He loves them. He hasn't autox'd yet, but he said he hasn't gotten them to break loose yet(yes, it's front wheel drive), even in the wet. I'm considering them for replacements on both mine and Cheryl's car.
I have a friend with an SRT-4 and a couple other friend's with Contour SVTs that have/are runnings the KDW2s. The consenous is these tires are LOUD after 5K miles and ride pretty rough. All of these guys agree they won't go with the KDW2s again. Just something to keep in mind.Originally Posted by trey.hutcheson
Actually, I think those are BFGoodrich KDW 2's. Those are actually fairly cheap, at least in comparison to Pilots or Eagles. The 245/35 19's are $223 at Tirerack, which is certainly cheaper than many tires in that category for 19's. For what would fit my OEM 18's, 245/40(235/45 not being available), they cost $153 a piece. Definitely not cheap, but cheapER.My buddy had those come stock on his SRT4. He loves them.

Boris, your sedan is coming along VERY nicely. Props bro, very clean and classy. That negative camber in the rear is going to kill your tires though, hehe.

how long will those tires last? expected life?
i drive lots....like 20,000/year. 19'' maybe a problem for me

Were you on the stock sport shocks? I was actually thinking of going S. Tech + Tokico D Specs. +38 on a 9.5 rim is a really aggressive rear offset for the sedan.... oh how I wish our RWD sedan actually had RWD offsets...
You're right about IP.Originally Posted by woshiagni
Woah, woah... let's give credit where it's due, IP is definitely a metallic color, hehehe Were you on the stock sport shocks? I was actually thinking of going S.

I am currently on stock sport shocks. From what I have read about the S.Tech + D-Spec, I fear that the suspension will still be too soft due to softer than OEM rear spring rates.

I have decided, the centercaps will never be put on. My wheels are more mysterious this way, and look slightly more aggressive.Originally Posted by GEE35X
Very, very, very SWEET. Nice, the drop really compliments your wheels which are beautiful. Would look good with centercaps though.

Very clean look, which I like. I haven't seen too many IP sedans in the bay area, let alone, ones that are modded. +38 is quite aggressive since I'm running +39 in the rear which caused me to roll my fenders. Anyhow, I'll be sure to honk when I see you on the road!

Terrible. Imagine a road trip with luggage and passengers? The s-techs and 19's are a very rough comboOriginally Posted by darnelled
Looks incredible! How is the ride quality now with bigger rims and drop?

The ride feels exactly the same as it did when I was at stock height on my OEM 18's. Yes, the S.Tech's are underdampened at this point, and that's why I mentioned that I ordered a set of coilovers. With or without passengers in my car, the ride is smooth and in no way spine-busting.

I've had s-techs and they are terrible with 18's let alone 19's. With passengers there are shock waves through the whole car when you hit bumps. The s-techs are ok for looks but you will need rear camber arms and not good with passengers for daily driving.Originally Posted by vodkarocket
