Exclamation GY Eagle F1 AS or BFG Gforce ta KDW2?

I have narrowed down my search for new tires two these two. What do you guys think?? Which will last me longer and still give good traction? They both seem to be about the same price. Anyone with expierence in these tires? I use size 225/45/18 front and 255/40/18 rear. THANKS!

you really can't compare the two... the A/S is an all season tire - designed for some grip in the snow... the KDW 2 is a dry/wet tire...

from personal experience, the KDW 2 is one of the best dry/wet street tires you can find - excellent dry grip, great wet grip... all around awesome...

I voted for the BFGs. When I had my Cobra and purchased some 10th Anniversary wheels, they came with similar Goodyear F1s and I didn't not like them at all. They felt like driving on wood. When they wore out, I replaced them with BFG T/A KDWs and was much happier.

Kev, I am also looking at tires and the GoodYear F1 tire was judged by Car and Driver and EVO mag as the best tire bar none. I am sure the all-season is good but won't grip nearly as much.
