i have the fuzion and they are great... very hard to make them spin, lots of grip..makes launching easier ( if you race). and in the twisties they hug the road awesomely. i'm glad i tried them.

nice... and they are about 80 bucks a tire?..... also do the tires come in the same size as our stock ones? ive read some about them but where did you order yours from?

We've noticed the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712s to have rather long treadlife, hard compound, mediocre grip.

Has anyone here had first hand experience with the BFGoodrich KDW, Potenza S0-3 and the Toyo T1-S ? I'm thinking I want to go with one of the three on some lightweight wheels. Looking for max grip, prices are all close enough that it won't play a factor... tread wear isn't very important, unless they are lasting under 10K miles. I guess some of the Nittos could be in the running as well, but I have zero interest in all-seasons... so it'd likely be down to the 555 or 555R.

I have the s-03s, I'll tell you how I like em once I get more mileage. So far they feel great though. Contrary to what everyone has been saying, I've heard the T1-S's suck. The guy who owns the shop I work at was crew cheif on Shauna Marinus' Speed World Challenge last year, and in the SWC everyone has to run the T1-S. He said everyone wishes they could run S-03s because they all hated the T1-S. I've heard good things about the KDW's but haven't used em. Can't wait to get more miles on the S-03s though. They're expensive though, but oh well, they're the most important part of the car.

That's the first I've ever heard anyone saying the Toyo's suck, but ok... I have been hearing that the S0-3s may be the best on the market right now... I'd like to hear what you think of the Pole Positions after you put some miles on them.

Anybody else?

Stock potenzas for now... 17k and going strong... lots of tread left. I keep them inflated and rotate every 5k miles. They are starting to wear a little on the outsides(all that camber), and they dont grip like they used to, but i think its more the power im making now than the tire itself.

I'll be getting KDW2's next summer... excellent wet, and dry, good for autox, and the drag strip, plus good tread life. A bit pricey, but cheaper than buying drag tires, autox tires, and street tires.
