I wonder why the only ran the BF Goodrich G-Force KD

My KDW NT's are soooo much better than those, and they only reason they ranked 10th it that they gave up wet traction... which the KDW's resolve...

these are my tires http://www.euromaster.fi/images/Coo_Zeo_2XS.jpg cooper zeon 2xs... not very well known, but amazing nun tha less. These tires perform in the wet like the stockers performed in the dry. After they are warm in dry weather they are simply amazing. Price? they are actually some of the cheapest performance tires you can buy. Got em on sale for like 107 or 114 each. Id say 90-95% the performance of the very best tires in its class for amost half the price.
