The KDW2 is very sticky and it has excellent wet handling which will fit your needs.

Which sizes are you looking for?

I need (2) 275/35/19. I know this is somewhat of a vague question, but do you think sub 2.0 60 ft. times are possible with this tire? I pulled off a 2.1 on some 255/40/17 Fuzion ZRi tires and I really need to get below 2.0.

It will be stickier than the Fuzion but there will be no sidewall flex. I think you'll be a little quicker on these still.

Yeah, the KDW is the stickiest in that size.

Look at the treadwear rating. The lower the number the stickier. Nitto makes a drag radial and roadrace (stiffer sidewall) tire with a 100 treadwear. The drag radials are as good as my Kumhos 712's were in corners and can usually hook up 2nd were the Kumho's would spin all the way through second on the rev limiter. If you have severe traction issues you would probably be happier with a drag radial if tire mileage isn't an issue.

I have one thing to say...

SO-3~!!!

Stickiest I've ever used. Good luck trying to get tread life out of them though.

Is the BFG-KD available in a 19"? If so, it is even stickier than the KDW.

just make sure not to compare the treadwear rating to another manufacturer's.

I have only seen the KDs up to 18s. And yeah, they are real sticky.
