Looking for the best source for these, the best price I have so far is $120 each plus shipping.

Anyone have any experience with the BFG Gforce KDW? I can get these for $107 each, but I have always wanted to try the Toyos.

Thanks,

Nick

Don't compromise your handling for a few bucks. Get the Toyos, you'll be glad you did.

I have the BF Goodrich G-force, KDW, they have a lot of meat on them and I have yet to break them lose on my FD. They grip really well. You will be in good shape either way you go.

I just got the kdw's and used them at mads a couple of weeks ago with great results it was a little wet one day and they did very well. I also just got some toyo's for my other car and they are 2lbs lighter per tire which is a pretty big difference in unsprung weight. Were are you getting those prices? I paid over 500 with a 50 rebate through tirerack for the kdw's 245 45 16's and 168 each for the t1s's 255 55 17's through victoria tire.

I work in a tire store so I get everything at cost, but I still have to pay shipping usually, plus tax, so sometimes buying online and getting out of tax works out cheaper.

Just got new Toyo T1-S's, 245/45/16 all round. Its my 2nd set of these tires and I really like them. Tire rack doesn't carry them, and by them time you get them shipped and then pay someone to mount them I don't think there is much savings. I get them fron a local distributor. They are pricey though, $178 each mounted and balanced. Came down from something like $200 a pop a year and a half ago. If someone knows a better deal on these let me know.

I know I can do them for $160.00 shipped in the continental US. However I'm working on another distributor now.

Mount and balance is another $15.00/wheel or so. That sounds about right.

Thanks, Rishie
