That's got to be a mistake on the tread wear for the Falken Azenis.  I
thought they were usually 200.  And my understanding was they don't last
long at all.

I have a friend with a Dakota that loves the BFG KD.  When he put on a set
of the G-Force R-compounds he was a little disappointed that they weren't
that much better than his KD's.

There is a substantial difference in the KD, KDW, and KDWS.  NB:  The KD's
have a quite high treadwear (300?), but still offer maximum dry grip in a
"true" street tire.

I don't think the RE730's are anywhere near as good as the old RE71's in the
dry.

I love the Kuhmo Ecsta 712's on a grip, wear, price basis for my street cars
in daily driving.  I don't think it is in the top 5 for an STS tire.
