F1 Supercars vs g-Force T/A KD's - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Aurora40 · 05-31-2005

Well, I'll probably be getting new tires in the next few months. Mine are fairly old so I'm not that comfortable with them.

Both tires are made in the US. The T/A's would be about $250 cheaper for all 4 tires. I don't care one bit about wet/bad weather handling, just dry weather. I don't drive any cars super hard on the street, except for some WOT blasts. Treadwear isn't an issue either, as I'll probably put 1-2k miles on in a year. So I don't want them to last longer than about 5 years anyway.

I think the F1's might be a better tire, but not sure if they are $250 better. I do like that they are Goodyears, though. The T/A's have a cooler looking tread pattern.

Hello Aurora, I am about to install the KD's on my Z. I had them on my last Z also. My driving concerns are identical to yours and I was very happy when I had them on my last Z. I ordered them from Tirerack. I was undecided if I should get the KD's again or F-1's or D-3's. The salesman at Tirerack said to stick with the KD's (cheapest out of the three also) His opinion was that the KD's offered the best dry traction and also wear. I am far from an expert so I went with the KD's. Hope this helps.
