Have you given any thought to the BFGoodrich KDW2s? These are some of the best tires I've ever had.
Yeah . . . I know, Boris. However, I like the performance aspects which they afford. I had thought about the KDW2's. I have run those previously on my other cars. Chris is checking on my options and I'll ask about those. Thanks!

I trust that is not the case. Regardless, I will not loose any sleep over that.

Yes, +19 fronts and +29 rears. Chris, has the wheels at the moment. I need to make a new tire selection. The Toyos are rumored to be waaaay out, possibly July and I don't want to wait much longer.

Okay, just got off the phone with Chris at F1. He has the wheels and the Toyo T1R's in 285/35/19 are available. However, it's the front set of 255/35/19, which are not available, at the moment. I almost pulled the trigger for the Pilot Sport PS2's, but I'll wait and use the money for camber arms, fender rolling, etc.

After a lengthy discussion with Chris and weighing my options . . . It seemed to me that going with the Toyos was the most cost effective route.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

Yeah i remember when i got my rims around april. There was a guy there wit a Z and he wanted 285/255. But chris gave them to to someone else and he couldnt get another set. The guy with the Z ended up getting the toyo but had to pay 50 more. When chris called up toyo to ask who took the last shipment of 285/255 they said "you guys did"....lol I think you might be outta luck on the tires

LMAO i did not. Btw, when did you order your wheels? Just because F1 is backorder doesnt mean other shops are.. when I was shopping for tires i found another place that was way cheaper than f1 for the t1-r's but the 285's were backordered instead of the 255's for f1.. so just shop around..
