Tire Choices
I posted this in the tire/wheel section earlier, but theres a lot more traffic here. Please excuse the double post.
My rear tires are getting kinda low on tread, so I'm going to replace them soon. I've been looking at the BFG G-force T/A KDW's. I found them for 125 at Sams. Are these really as good as people make them sound? Any other recommendations? Ive got TII rims - 16x7 - with 205-55-R16 tires. Can you go a little wider on these rims? Also, should I replace the fronts tires at the same time, or does it not make much difference. The fronts have Barum tires with about 5k miles on them. They're decent tires, but nothing to write home about.

I'd recommend Kumho Ecsta Supras. My friend has them on his 300zx and they handle really well. Whatever you do, don't get Goodyear eagles... Mine are horrible when it's cold outside. They're harder than rocks!

ive recommended them before and will continue to recommend them as long as i have them on my track/street car.
Bridgestone potenza so-3. i dont think they are too pricey in the states either.

I need good wet traction, also. Thats why Im going for the KDW instead of the KD.
i found them to have the best compromise between wet, street (treadwear), and track (once you heat them up real good).
