yet another tire question

[AndysMini]

OK I am due to collect my MCS in a few weeks and am wanting to get some good rubber under it i have narrowed it down to 3 tires:


Dunlop SP Sport 9000 205/45/R17
BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 205/45/R17
Dunlop Direzza DZ101 205/45/R17

what are peoples opinions of these tires?

[MINIAC]

The Dunlop SP Sport 9000 and BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2 are in different categories (Max Performance and Ultra High Performance) so there's no direct comparison. The Dunlops aren't ranked that high in their category, but the BF Goodrich are:

Max Performance Summer Survey

Ultra High Performance Summer Survey

The Dunlop Direzza DZ101 must be a new tire as there are no customer reviews yet.

I have Goodrich Traction TAs ( don't come in your size) and am quite happy with them. Veryy good in the wet.
CurtP ran the KDWs and seemed happy with them.

BFG's site shows an RF at the end of this tire size.

They say it is reinforced sidewall. Does this mean Run Flat?

This has come up before on this thread
The KDWs are not run flats

Thank you Obe

I had e-mailed BFG and asked them. All they did was e-mail back that they were reinforced.

I'm not crazy about the new tread pattern but I've had great luck with BFGs for several years and am not a fan of tires made in Korea or Japan.
