Default Tires

Well im in the market for tires once again so i decided to get feedback from you guys that have had these tires. So basically tell me what your pro's and con's are on the following

Size i will be running on the tires are as follows
FRONTS:
235/40/18 or 225/40/18 (stretching the tire on this set-up)

REARS:
265/35/18 or 255/35/18 (stretching the tire on this set-up)


BFGoodrich KDW2's
with a tread wear of 300 these are by far from what ive heard good for street and strip and Y-speed rated capable of speeds up to 186 mph



Falken ZE512
Had these on my old car with a tread rating of 420 and lasted forever, but the size i will be running actually falls in the 360 tread wear with a W-speed rating so it changes.


Falken ST115
Never ran this tire so dont really know what its capapble of and how good it is

I can't tell you about the Falken but the KDW2 is good performance with good tread life. Don't expect long tread life on the rear of the S2K though. They will have better wet traction than the S02 and longer tread life but the performance will not be nearly as good.
I would go with the 225/40R18 and 255/35R18. The other sizes are taller than what comes on the car and will probably cause some rubbing.
If I can help let me know.
