I had michelin sport on my 18 coupe and it lasted like 17K miles, I changed to Yokahama ESV100, about the same miles I got out of them but a bit cheaper than the Michelin. Now, I am thinking to try the BFGoodrick T/A KDW2 to see if I could able to get more miles. Michelin is expensive but they have a good rubber quality and light, while the ESV100 is a bit heavier, but handling is just fine. Anyone have any comment to the T/A KDW2 G-Force??

I have them (BFG-KDW2) on my 04.5 coupe 6mt....245/40-18 front and 255/45-18 rear..I drive very briskly and have nothing but good to say about these tires..

Very happy with the Avon Tech M550. Excellent tire in the dry and wet. Will not have the crisp turn in of a summer tire like the Michelin PS2s, etc. but at about $50-60 less per tire, twice the tread life, and less noise, works for me and my driving. Not just the reviews, but the road test against 2 other HP tires on tirerack.com are very revealing.

im running S03's in 19" aftermarket wheels.

on factory 18's, i still got the pilot a/s on there, but if i was to use it as
my primary wheelset, i would do 255/45/18 on the rear as well.
