Default BFG's KDW2's --- how abouth other sticky 19's

OK, I am looking for the STICKIEST tire...price and longevity is NOT an issue...in the 19'inch size range. roughly 245.275.35.19 but I am willing to go up slightly on the width.

I currently run the Toyo T1-s, and they are not meeting my expections. Too much wheelspin, and honestly...sub par traction and feel in the turns. feels like the sidewalls are too soft.

Does anyone have experience with the BFG's KDW2's.

If not...what are some other VERY sticky tires for 19's...and hopefully something that is light-weight. I know the S0-23's have good traction, but they are 3-6lbs heavier than the Toyo's.

I would not run the BFG KDW, it will not meet your expectations. Try the following:

Yokohama AVS Sport (pricier, very sticky, light, good sidewall)

Falken Azenis GRB 451 (cheap, sticky, light,so so sidewall, same compound as Azenis Sport RT215 if shaved to 6/32'nds)

Bridgestone RE050A NOT RUN-FLAT (expensive, but stickier than S03, similar handling to S03 w/more grip, loud, same as Enzo and SL55/65 )

HTH's

Do all of the tires you mentioned come in 19inch sizes?

Yes, in 245/275 stagger... that is why I chose those.

There are much better tires, if you are open to other sizes ie.. BFG KD's in 18's and some streetable "R" compounds
