What kind of lifetime do the BFG KDW's have? What kind of mileage are people getting out of them before replacing them?

I have 34K on mine and plan on getting 2 more months out of them before the snow. I also am curious about the (KDWS) version for winter.

I've put about 10k miles on mine and they're about 3/5ths way done. I don't think the 300 treadwear indicator means that much. Probably going to go with Bridgestone RE730s or Firestone SZ50 EPs, assuming the NHTSA doesn't open an investigation on them too. I also have the Yokohama AVS Sports and and AVS-S1's in mind. ------------------ Louis Wang Sugar Land, TX 1998 Black E0 #3826 http://web.wtez.net/tw57472

After 15K I need new tires. I am very hard on tires though. I can't tell you how many times rubber has been left on the street sliding through corners and other extremely fun stuff this car "tells" you to do!!!

I currently have 33K on mine. I probably would have made 40K if my alignment had not gone out and warped a couple of the tires.

I have the KDW's on my Cougar, and I do drive them very hard, and got
about 13k out of them. Two main reasons, I autocrossed on them(8 times), and my access road to work is like sand paper(well it was they just repaved it) and I drive hard on it.
I will probably get another set of KDW's although next season I'll have a dedicated set of tires for autoxing so I won't be beating my road tires to hell.
