Are you sure you don't mean the BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2?
As far as I can tell, there's no such tire as the BF Goodrich "Firetread". The T/A KDW 2 is an Ultra High Performance Summer tire with a high treadwear rating, but got a 4th place ranking in a 4 tire test at Tirerack.com.

I have the Kumho SPT on my 18/19 set. They have good treadwear, good price and good overall performance. If performance is key, go with the Dunlop Starspec which is what I have on my 17/18 track/aggressive street set.

What We'd Improve: A significant reduction in tread noise
LOL tread noise
boohoo, we drive nsx.. Exhaust sound> tread noise
mexi, where did you get yours? If i remember correctly, you paid less than tire central quoted you, correct?
Is that with all the costs accounted for? Such as, Mount/balance and Shipping?
If so, I may need to order from Tire Rack again and just bring it to Tire Central for mount and balance.
how much did you pay for all 4 shipped? How much more to get them mounted/balanced?
do you remember what tire central quoted you? I know their quotes include everything done. Text me if preffered.

You can look up prices and shipping charges yourself on the Tire Rack website.
Most shops charge $15-30 per tire for mounting and balancing. Shops that participate in the Tire Rack's program of recommended installers have their mounting/balancing rates posted on the Tire Rack website (click here).
Thanks man. I went to tire central (same place I bought my kw v3) and got micheling super sport for my rears sincd grip level is same or better than the starspecs I have up front. Will be picking up my newly mounted tires in couple hours.
Next is checking on that rear toe and repacing tires on my TE37s so I cab have my backup rims.

Michelin Pilot Super Sport is a Max Performance Tire (or Ultra-High Performance depending on where you look), vs the Dunlop StarSpecs Extreme Performance Tire.
So theoretically this means that the rears will actually have LESS grip than the fronts leading to a tendency to oversteer.

Donald told me that yhe porsche guys use these on the track and have been know to provide grip as good or better than starspecs. Also, front are 50% worn so theyre not as grippy as they should. I felt the rubber on the micheling and they feel softef than starspecs. We will see lol.
