I run KDW IIs.

No Issues with dry traction and they are awesome in the rain.

They do absolutely suck though under 40 Deg., so there is no way they could be used in the winter months let alone in the snow.

you really cant shop for a ALL Season on the back of these cars. if your gunna winter drive it get blizzacs or something on a set of shooters.

Got a pair of Genral Altimax Artics on shooters on the rear and Hankook I*pikes on the front on shooters for the winter months. Just need a decent spring/summer tire with good wet traction and won't waste away as quick as almost every Goodyear I have ever previously owned. They are going on the chrome stockers until I figure out what I want to do with a tire and rim package further down the road.

Thanks for all the info guys.

If your thinking rims in the future I would do it now.
Got nice zr1 deep disk rims with nitto 555's for $1200 shipped from oe wheels for my car a few years ago.
Figured when the tires got beat I would just sell the package for $800 and buy another.

My dad was in love with the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 tires on his ws6.

eagle f1's last about 25k miles and are 300 a tire ISH now. decent tire for traction but the tread life is worse then a 555 DR.

Don, those are the guys in sarasota fl right?

And yeah pizza, tread life is kind of important to me because I'll probably be doing anywhere between 15-20k per year, hopefully not so much because looking to get a house and another car as a daily driver and park the car to do some work to it and make it a weekend cruiser or when it's really nice out.
