Default Just ordered some tires

Like the title says, just ordered some tires. I went with 295/35/18 bfg kdw 2's. I'm kinda excited to see how they'll do. I'm hoping it's a decent sticky tire that'll last for a while. How many miles do you guys think I could get out of em with some spirited driving and the occasional track visit? I'll post pictures when they get mounted.

An 18x10 DD black Bullitt wheel. Should help close the wheel gap.

Thanks bro purp, I kinda hope for a little more than that considering my student budget -_- I need to finish school already dammit. I've heard at lot of good things about these tires. Considering I've had ****ty sumitomos and all weather p6 Pirelli's that were bought used this is my first serious sticky tire. The tread pattern looks sick on em!

kdw's should last a lot longer than 12k miles. 12k miles is what you get out of a dr with a 100 wear rating, the kdw's have a 300 wear rating, which is saposed to mean it'll last 3x longer than ones with a 100 rating. i'd say you should be able to get 25k or so out of them with spirited driving and what not. also i love those tires, they have the sickest looking tread pattern!
