    I had KDW's on my 03 and loved them. Handle great and awesome traction in both wet and dry conditions. Only downside is they are a tad noisy, but I figure the exhaust takes care of most of that. Check into Toyo R888's in 295's or 315's.

    Thanks James.. have a tough time deciding, I may end up ordering what I was originally considering,
    NITTO NT555R II / 305 35 18

    I guess Toyo actually makes the Ntto's from what I read.. same compound and construction just different tread designs.

    I ran those for a while on my old street car. I would agree with Bruce - the handling, especially when the track was slick, out did the 555s. Even on a dry track I liked them better.

    One of the things I've noticed, and this is just my personal opinion, is that what handles better or worse tends to effect my drive more as the tires get bigger in the back. On a smaller set I tend not to notice the differences as much.
