g-Force T/A KD vs. g-Force T/A KDW vs. Comp T/A ZR

I ordered 15x8 and 15x4 Centerline Telstars last night for my 96Z. I am still undecided about what tires to put on the back. The car is still a street car so I know Drag Radials will just wear out way too quick. I will probably get a pair eventually and put them on my salad shooters.

On BF Goodrich's website, they say all three of these tires are great for dry traction, they just use three different words to describe each of them "Outstanding, Exceptional, and Excellent" With each of these words going to its own tire, I'm still wondering what will work best for me.

Wet traction really isnt and issue, and winter traction definitely isn't. So I just need your opinions about which of these tires would work best for me. I like the idea of longer tread life, but its not a deal breaker. I just want to know which os these tires will give me the best traction on the street/strip without wearing out over 5,000 miles.

Thanks guys

KD's are dry traction
KDW's are dry/wet
Comp T/A's are badass tires have a 280 tire life iirc(probably way off)

Instead of giving me a hard time about making a mistake, why don't you help someone out who is asking for your advice. I don't think its necessary to ignore someone's question just because they posted in the wrong forum.

I dont think they make the Comp T/A ZR tires anymore. I just purchased (4) G-Force T/A KDW and they look the same like the Comp's. I believe its the replacement for the Comps.

dude why in the world would you order 15" wheels for that car? for the street? i could understand if you were running a drag slick but street tires? are you sure you didnt type those tire sizes wrong? anyways, on topic, the best street tire IMO is the BFG KDW, i had some on my old mustang and they were awesome, i have the nitto 555R drag radials on my Z now.
