I have to go with the BFG G-Force TA KDW2s they have a good looking pattern and they last a decent while for a good grip performance tire. Not a huge fan of Falkens they seem to soft for daily driving use, they are usually gone after about 15-20k miles not worth the money.

Not intending to be a jerk here, but if those are your requirements, why are you posting in a track/racing section of this forum for advice????? All of us chose tires on steering response, adhesion, and how fast we can race our car on them. looks and treadlife are pretty far down our list of importance.

because this is where every tire post should be... anyone on da twisties gotta know good tires... and if they are picky about track tires, 9 times outta 10 theyll be picky about daily driven tires too.

not to be a jerk here, but where would you have posted this thread?
