Default BF Goodrich KDWs

I need new hides and was wondering if anyone has these tires. I especially want to know how they are in the wet. Thanks for your input.

I have the first generation KDW's. They are very good in the wet. Don't know how they compare to the KDW 2's.

I have the KDW's 2 on my car, 245/35/19 and 285/35/19. Great on wet and way better then the toyo's I had on dry traction. The only problem is that these are new and noisey so I can guess it will progress as the tires get older. Overall I would rate them a 9 out of 10. My toyo were a 7 out of 10 in comparison. hope this helps.

Default BFG KDW's

Have the BFG KDW's on my '03 Z. Took a chance with fitment
and put 265/35/18's on front, 295/35/18's on rear. They are pretty wide, but fit. Have Boyd Coddington Tuned wheels which were fit to my car, don't recall offset, but could figure out if needed. Dry traction very good, wet good. Only concern I had
was wearing through them in 18K miles. (Like'em enough, bought another set)

Much better price! Probably on par or better dry traction. S03's probably have less road noise.

I had KDW's on my SRT4 and i thought they were crap in wet weather. The design of the tire is sick though, very aggresive looking.
