Most of you guys have been talking about rubber on 18" rims.

Anyone have an opinion on what's best on 20's.

I'm running Pirelli P Zero Nero's.

Seeem great in the dry, quiet and hardly any tramlining.

Not so sure about the wet though. I daren't switch of the TC!

I recently bought Dunlop Direzza DZ101 for my Z. Im really happpy with that purchase. I kept the tire stock size though. Didnt really care to go with optional tire sizes. The tires are smooth and it definately got rid of the tire feathering noise. Its a hell of alot better than those f-in bridgestones. For a set of 4 i only spent around $550 at DiscountTireDirect.com. That includes the road hazard protection too. I also got military discount too. Try asking it might work for you.

By the way, four of these BF tires are about $350 more than the 452 Falkens. I'm thinking I should have ordered the Falkens.....

Once you get your new KD's, I'd love to get your opinion on how they compare to other tires you've had (especially your PS2's, according to your sig).

I'm not aware of changes in the KD tire.. maybe you're thinking of the KDW, which has the "NT" version and the normal version. The tires you ordered, the KD's, are supposed to be excellent tires. I'm about to order some myself..

Agree 100%. I've had 3 different brands on my 03Z. On a scale of 1-10 here's my happy scale. 10 being the best you could have.

OEM Potenza 2
Dunlap (current) 7
Pilot Sports 10

Nitto NT555s suck in the rain. They're not bad in dry conditions. That's all I've had on my car besides the stockers. The stock tires suck but everyone knows this.
