You already have the best tires for your evo, the Advans rock! They are much better than the BFG KDW...but their high performance comes at a price...they do not last very long.

In that case KDW's are pretty good. There is a noticeable decline in all out grip but the ride quality is improved. The car will become less on edge (for good or bad) and your significant other will surely appreciate it. I think Tirerack is having a special on KDW's right now.

The look is the last thing you want. Grip is the first.

Anyone try running Falken GRB FK-451s? I had them on my S4 and it was a very good performer with acceptable tire wear for a summer tire.
