Default which way to go...

well... its about that time... i am gonna need new tires again... i have loved my kdwII's and i have been hearing lots about two other tires... the nitto Invo... and the potenza RE-01R... does anyone have any experience with either of these tires... now remember that i run a stereo/rim/custom shop and all of these tires are with in 5 or so dollars of each other at my cost... so price is not a deciding factor... i was just wondering if anyone would recommend one of the others over KDWs... i do autoX when i can and i drive slightly aggressive.. so... all comments/insults/snarls/outbursts/opinions are welcome....

I can't really say so much about how these tires will do in the winter time as I live in FL, but I just got a set of Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals and I tell you what, the wet traction is like the dry traction on the stock Potenzas. And the dry traction? I've only been able to get the tire (yes, 1 tire) to break loose once. The Wide Ovals are pretty quiet, VERY grippy, and very responsive and if I can remember my prices right, somewhere near if not cheaper than the KDWII's.
