It is time for new tires and I can't decide between the G-Force KDW-2's or the Pilot Exalto PE2's. Any suggestions?

 

at that price, look at Michelin pilot sport a/s plus. great grip and long tread life

Agree.

 

I would, but the deal I have is for either one of these two tires. Going to the Sport would cost an extra $250 over what I'd spend on either the KDW or the PE2's ($560 installed). That seems like a pretty big difference.

 

Never been disapointed by Michellins!

 

I guess it's French rubber then.

 

Looks like Costco is out of the PE2's. It looks like the Goodrich tires will have to do.

 

yea, how's this a question? wait on the michelin's. the only thing i'd look at as well is one of the pole positions from bridgestone. i like the firmness of them. my feeling is the michelin and bridgestone are equal, just different. bridgestone seems more sporty and firm where michelin seems to be a more grippy and comfy.
just my 2 cents

 

I found the BFG KDW-2 gets really noisy after they have worn. In fact, my friend was convinced I had wheel bearings that were failing. I had to put my winter tyres back on, AND my AutoX tyres to convince him otherwise.

I pulled my BFGs with plenty of rubber left on them, could not stand the highway noise.

I put on Bridgestones RE 01Rs. A great choice in my opinion.

 

Running 215/45-17 Exalto PE2's here.
