Ok, as far as performance, noise, handling, traction, etc how would you rank these...

...

1) KDW2's taht woudl cost about...$568.
2) Fuzion ZRi...$331
3) Federal SS 595...$304
4) Falken FK 452...$376
5) Hankook RS2's dont have a 40 for the rear? Some guy has em but on the site found nothing...

The Fuzions are quiet with great wet traction and plenty of dry traction for the street or daily driving. If you are auto-x, tracking or running tons of 1/4 mi's then there are better choices.

edit: I haven't used any of teh others.

What about the Falken RT-615's? Inexpensive and very good dry handling.

I had Fuzion Zri's on my Gramlights. Pretty descent tires for the price. Great wet & dry grip. Now I have the KDW2's, these are really nice tires, becuase of the wider tread pattern there is a little bit more road noise. I also think you can run a size wider with these tires. I went with 245 in the rear and they look a bit stretched, coulda went with a 255.
