Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Wheels & Tires goodrich KDWS

count me in as a firm beleiver in these tires. i always run goodrich t/a's when applicable, i have always had good luck with them. i just put a set of KDWS's on 2 weeks ago, and i am very impressed with the ride quality, traction, both dry and wet, and lack of road noise. too early for a snow report yet, but i have a hunch i'll be okay. instead of tire drone, its so nice to hear the exhaust purr when i am going up through the gears now.....aaaaahhhhhhhh! life is good.

Good choice in tire's I have a couple of fiends that have KDWS' one is on a 91 SHO they last a ong time, good grip also.. He was able to take a 25mph exit ramp at 70 thats how good they grip...

I totally agree...what a great tire! I had them installed yesterday and they stick as well as my KDWs did.

I had 5 people in my car and a full trunk and experienced NO rubbing either with the 225/50/16 size tires.

I hope they good, because i am getting them Thursday!!! 225/50/16's I hope they last longer than the KDW's i only got 17,000 miles on the KDW's that sucks!!!! lol

follow up report.
we received our first decent snow (5-6") here in western pa and this is the first i have had the KDWS's in it. my initial impression after arriving at my office was..........they are O-TAY!!!!!! gripped very nicely and once under way, feel real stable in the slushy crap. very good tire.

Thanks for the update! The KDWS's are very high on my next tire list. The VR-4's are getting my around in the snow and slush that we have right now, but I'd prefer something that makes me feel a little better while driving.

Which size did you go with?

stock EO size 205/55/16. too old and too po' for aftermarket goodies
