Or post any suggestions for a better tire that is well priced.

PS is it a good choice to bump from 215 to 225?

I really like the looks of these as well and people gave them good reviews, what do you think?

I see that the stock tires are like $250 each but I dont care to spend that again but would like to maintain the performance as much as possible so am looking for ideas on the best choice.

My MS3 has only 900 miles on it but I am just researching so any help is great, thanks.

OK so I figured 225 are fine but what about tire choice?

I really like the look of the BFG and they still have a trea wear of 300 vs the stock Potenzas at a mere 140.

What are you going to be using these tires specifically for?

Track?
or
Daily driven..?

Daily driving, but I want to maintain the same or close to stock performance with handling.

I dont drive my MS3 around like it could be driven I am pretty easy on it and every now and then get on it just for a smile or 2.

How does the Goodyear F1 GSD3 compare to the price of those others. I think it is a great choice in high performance summer tire, with great dry and even better wet traction.

Nevermind they are still a lot more expensive then the Kuhmo options, I checked on tirerack.

BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2. Hands down the best tires I have ever owned. They do have a little road noise but with our exhaust note, you may not even hear it. Check out the survey results on Tirerack.com. Also they have a 300 AA A Treadwear rating which is unbelievable for a tire that performs like they do. As far as Kumho, I have owned a few pair with no complaints, but I'm not quit sure how they would perform on a Turbo'd beast like ours.

Those tires you listed are the same in the link I put up right?

I always had BFG's on my tacoma and they were the best tires I ever had even though they had no warranty. Wouldnt matter you wont need a warranty on them since they were so good.

It reminds me of Tommy boy where he said he can take a s*** in a box and put a warranty sticker on it and people would buy it, lol.

Hello! At first I thought they were different, but I went to the BFGoodrich website and apparently some call it BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 and some call it the KDW NT. The "2" stands for "second generation" and the "NT" stands for "New Tread." I know the first KDW that came out had a compound issue or something so they revised it etc.

Anyhow, that is one awesome tire and well worth the money.
