Its that time again and I'm going to have to buy some new tires in the upcoming months.

I really like these tires because they just look mean as hell. Anyone who knows me knows that I don't beat on my car that much, but occasionally I do. I was wondering if these tires would be good for DD. I know there not the optimal 400tread wear tire, but would they work ok or would I be stupid for buying them for DD?

The tires I were running now are 235/45/17 Falken ST-115. (360tread wear)

I have those same tires on my IX. They are a nice tire for DD. They grip really well on the twisty roads. They are pretty quite on the road, and def quiter then stockers. They are also very good in the rain. I have about 5, 0r 6K miles on mine, and they still look brand new, so the tread wear is awesome.

Yeah they would make a good dd tire. Above average performer across the board. Will do the job perfectly fine for the occasional aggressive driver.

Awesome, because they are def. the best looking tire I have seen so far. (in my price range..)

I think I'll pick up a set when my ST-115s run out.

I know this has been beat to death, but should I get them in 245 or 255. I'm on Tanabe gF210 springs with stock evo9 wheels.

I'd stick with the 245's.

I had these on my 8 with gf210. They were good in the rain and a descent performer. I like my Dunlops better. Stickier tire but less tread life. I think they look nasty. The good nasty. I would say get the 255/40 because it's closer to our stock overall diameter vs. the 245/45 but on a stock wheel I don't think the sidewall is stiff enough. You should just save some more money and get 235/45 if yer staying with the sock rims.

I dd'd my KDW's, good tires for the price. If you drag, i was able to cut 1.6's w/them. Also they're quieter than the stock advans.
