... What tires do you recommend? Since I just bought Rickdogg's Work S1's I need tires. I'm going to run 245/35-19 up front & 285/35-19 in the rear. I mean I love the BFG KDW and all but like to hear some other suggestions. Thanks.

EDIT: PLease link me to the tire's info. Thanks!

 

bfg kdw :P

 

KUMHO MX!!! But only if you want to buy new tires every 12k miles haha.

 

Considering I'll most likely do 12k miles in 9-12 months... No thanks.

 

If you have the money, Michelin PS2.

 

^+1, but the 285's are priceeeey (or so my wife told me when I shelled out the cash).

 

Well I did price the PS2 from Tire Rack. Only $250 more total over the KDW. How's the tread life?

 

From what I can tell (had them for a year now, daily driver, including 4 track days on them) they hold up very good. I've got lots of tread left, only the outside edges of the fronts show any real wear. I saw the same thing with the pricing, the diff between KDW2s and PS2s was only about $250 on 19" 255/285 sizes.

 

The Pilot Sports are amazing tires. If you don't mind spending the extra money those are the puppies to go with.

 

You guys are selling me on the PS2.

 

Here's a little sample of their wet handling...

 

^is that with aftermarket sway bars? Having swaybars really throws off wet handling.

 

I'm a bigger fan of 255/35/19 F and 285/35/19s rear. If you like BFGs you're in luck with the G-Force T/A KDW2s, but if you have the cheese go for the PS2s or Yokohama Advan Sports

 

+1 on everything he said

 

I don't remember if the front sway bar was on at that time or not. I have one now and the body roll is significantly less than before, so based on that picture I guess it wasn't on then.

 

SOLD!!! LOL

 

245/285 is too much stagger IMHO - better off 2ith 255 or even 265 up front and 285/295 out back

 

seriously, thats a TON of body roll, like damn.

 

The 245/285 is what was suggested to me by Rickdogg.

 

255/35/19s are a better fit on a 9.5" wheel. 245/35/19s are pushing the applications max. Check it out:

Edit: No offense to Rick, I'm sure he knows his stuff, but when it comes to tires I would trust myself and some of these guys that chimed in your thread more.
