Excellent dry/wet and nasty looking. Loud and wears pretty quick.

Longer lasting, quieter... not as good dry/wet as the BFG. Still a good dd tire for mild aggressive street use. Of the two I would do the Yoko's.

Depends on what you wanna do with them. If all you care about is dry/wet then do the BFG, but if you want more creature comforts in exchange for a tad less dry then I'd do the S-Drive.

Local guy had the BF Goodrich G-Force T/A KDW 2 on his STi. Looked mean.

I'm running the DZ101. Great street tire for dry pavement. Ok wet pavement. Not exactly great AutoX tires.

Will last longer, but won't handle as well in the dry as it's an all season tire.

I have the KDW's. They are great in summer and wet weather. Snow obviously suck. I autox with them. They are semi decent. Heat up quick and get sticky but when they over heat they get greasy and slide.

No prob

Z-III's good bang for the buck but won't run with the Z1. Z1's are probably the most popular tire I sell for the EVO right now.

Mention me online when ordering or call me direct
