The first one is the goodyears and the other is for the KD's. I was looking at the ratings and the goodyears arnt as good but it is close but the wet weather traction is great and the tire wear is also very good. If these ratings are B.S. and the KD's are that much better, just let me know.

goodyears are overpriced by brand designation. i would not get them. also...the tread rubber hardens more quickly than most brands. these people test the tires brand new....if they were to perform the tests after 20k.....the shore A hardness of the Goodyear would show the tire sucks.

I put KDWs on my lil Z and she holds very nicely in any condition...esp. in rain. Never really noticed a difference between dry and rain traction unless I wanted her to break loose. I agree with Ken that the KDs truly are great, but the KDWs have impressed me a lot and done everything I wanted them to do...including high speed traction in the rain getting through bad traffic. I wouldn't discount the KDWs just yet if you want good all-weather traction. Just my $0.02.
