is it worth getting the same tire (KDW 2's) all around or getting a stickier tire out back (KDW 2's) and a lesser performance tire up front (HRZ II)

Why spend the extra money for a high performance tire on the front when it's not needed.Speaking from experiance here.

That's why alot of people put DR's on the rear and cheaper tires on the front.That's what I am going to do next time.

Nitto DR's on the back...gonna do the 275/40/17

Then probably gonna get 245/45/17 sumis for the front

Its getting close to that time of year to finish off the rears again..is it a bad thing that I go through more rear tires than front...lol

I dont see a need for anything over 100bucks a tire on the front at most. I just want a tire that will move water well when it rains. I have some $101 falkens on the front they are great, and use nitto dr's out back.
