Well they have been on my car for 2 weeks now and I have come to the conclusion.....These were meant to be on Imprezas from the factory. I have a 98 with a stock suspension (not even a swaybar) and I have 0 understeer. I can only imagine how well the car would handle with a better set-up. You can't rally in them unless you are a pro. They don't seem to hook-up in the mud at all. Wet traction is amazing though. I have not broke loose yet in the rain.

The only two downsides I have come across so far is they are not a mud or snow tire at all and they are a bit noisey.

They do however beat my old Dunlop SP5000's hands down.

I just put these on. So far so good. They have great fur traction for running over deer n stuff.

What size did you guys put on and how much were they per tire?
I'll be needing some new shoes in a few months.

Same old 205/55R16 here.

KDW's Rock! I've had them for about 3 months now. They are way better than my nitto 450's that I had!

I think that they're about 100-115 on the tire rack

I used these as summer tires on my Contour. Tremendous grip in both wet and dry. They would be my first choice for summer tire on my WRX if I was using 2 sets of rims/tires. If you think they are noisey now ,wait till you hit 20k..........

So has anyone put these on a 17" wheel?

I've been running the kdw's all summer for street and auto-x and am pretty happy with them I have done about 20 auto-x's with them and they still have plenty of tread they also can take heat pretty well compared to the falkens.

That is a reasonable price for all that performance.
