Default New BF Goodwrench g-Force T/A KDWS

Seeing as how my Z is my daily, year round driver, and it snows here in Virginia, and I needed to replace the POS stock tires, I purchased 4 BFG g-Force KDWS tires the other day in sizes 245/45/17 front and 255/45/17 rear.

So far, but this may simply because of the newness, I have not been able to break the grip on these things! Try as I might around corners, where the stock REO 40's would have had me struggling to regain footing, the BFG's hold tight!!!

And it seems that around bends and what not the car seems to have lost the overstear I had experienced before.. the car seems to now almost feel like it sort of guides it self!! Correct me if I am wrong but that may be because of the wider tire vs. stock.

So far so good for the g-Force KDWS.. I know it isn't as performance oriented as the regular KDW, but hey, I will take the trade off for a little all season handling.

I myself was looking at the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2's. Heard many good things about them and they are like $400 cheaper than S0-3's for the full set of four!

I just went from S03's the the KDW2's. I LOVE the new tires. They are much QUITER than the well worn S03s I had. The sidewalls seem to be nice and stiff too. Turn in response is EXCELLENT.

The grip is wonderful, although I CAN still chirp 1 - 2 AND 2 - 3 shifts if I try.

All the reviews I have read about them are excellent!
