Since those are backorder I have read the reviews on the Sumitomo HTRZ II and they also seem pretty good. Anyone including gary on those as a alternative to the KDW2 tires? I am looking around that price range and would like a good handling tire for those fun days I like to play but also want a tire that is good in the rain and dry and is quite. Of course tread life is important too.. I will be putting these on a A8Q. I need tires asap my current ones are shot. thanks for your help

Also while the KDW2 is a great wet and dry tire, it is not exactly known for being a very quiet riding one. The Conti Contact2 would ride more quietly and still has great grip, or the Goodyear GSD3 has also been very popular.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&amp;url=/tires/index.jsp">Tires</a></li></ul>

I have read the reports and they seem postive.. quite? handling? one concern I have I hear that the Sumitomo HTRZ II is going to be discontinued. if so then maybe not a good choice. thanks again

The HTRZII is entry-level for grip and handling, a noticeable step down from teh others you're looking at. Fair in noise levels... no plans to discontinue that one.
