I've only been able to compare them to the OEM, but they stick a lot better. I can launch from first full throttle and barely get a chirp out of them. I compared them on Tire Rack to other tires and they always averaged better than others for street driving.

From what I gathered they are great on dry pavement, and very decent on wet pavement. Here in California we don't see much of the wet, but when we do I am confident that I can still open my goat up without a problem.

I really wanted to try the BF KDW-2 but they don't come in my size, so I went back to the Eagle F1's. Goodyear also makes the Eagle F1 Supercar, which I believe come on the Corvettes, Mustang GT500 but they just don't have a very appealing tread pattern. They look like your plain jane Camry tires.

With mounting, balancing and installation they cost me about $900 for the set. The tires themselves are about $220 a piece, but I've seen some shops trying to sell them for $250-$275 just trying to make an extra buck on some poor unsuspecting customer. It's always good to do your homework before you make any type of purchase.
