Hey guys,

I just picked up some Y2k rims off of a C5 Vette this afternoon, and the tires are pretty worn and need to be replaced. What kind of tires is everyone running? I currrently have bridgestone potenzas on my Trans Am, and thought they were great. They still have some life on them, but they wore pretty fast (Z-rated high performance). They were also pretty expensive....

Tire rack is selling the g-Force T/A KDW 2 tires for $626. I'm really not trying to spend over a grand like I did last time for them to last 10-15,000 miles. Anyone have any experience with these? Also, is it worth buying an ultra high performance summer tire? The car is not my daily driver (currently), but I do beat on it a bit and I may take it to the drag strip in the near future. What do you guys think?

Thank you very much for the help!
