I like my KDWs. Ford liked them enough to make them standard equipment. I guess that says it all.

I have the GForce Sports on my 17s. I love 'em and just ran the Dragon on them in October. Good firm sidewall, great handling, so far wonderful treadwear, and less noise than the KDW or KDW II. If you plan to track the car, maybe opt for the KDW. But I don't think the difference in performance will be noticable - if there at all.... 
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Be different and get some of the old Comp-T/A drag radials.
I was joking. If you can keep from killing yourself, get the KDs, the KDWs don't act quite right until you wear them down a bit. The water channels were made a bit too deep.

The KDW is a better overall tire then the Sport.
To put it is simplistic terms.
The Sport is 85%-90% of the tire for 80% of the money.
I would recommend the Falkien Ziex-512. It's 95% of the tire laterally & 110% straight-line for 80% of the money.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

That's a damn good way of putting it. I would say that's spot on!
