fixing flats from now on, but I dont care. I have finally replaced my wheels and tires and used KDW2's. Night and day difference. My air
gauge was messed up last night when I mounted them. Today I checked the pressure mainly because I thought the ride was too soft.
Well.......they all had 40psi in them! Now since bringing them down to 30 psi, its even better. GOOD BYE Run flats.

Pics?

You replaced tires AND wheels.

Do the KDW2's come in stock C5 sizes?

BTW: KDW2 = coolest looking tread design out there!
