KDW2's

Are these tires good? I really like my BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWS 225/50/16 on my stock wheels. Since i'm thinking of upgrading my wheels I want to go with these tires (I really like the tread pattern too).

Anybody for or against? Thanks again.

They may say KDW, but with that tread style their wet weather handling will suffer. I also expect them to wear a little quicker then the stock KDW's.

Like stated dry weather handling should be outstanding.

For reference - the normal KDW's have a new tread pattern that is definitely more aggresive and should provide both better dry & wet weather handling then before.
Still probably give their typical tread life though (300 rating my butt )

Hey thanks for the replay, just to make sure.. are these the tires you are refering too?

new KDW?

Oh, and excuse my ignorace, but why are the normal KD's ($250ish) more expensive than the KDW's ($170ish)? Is there a lack of noticable performance with the KDWs?

Out of the Horses mouth they claim this tread pattern with relation to F1 Technology, will be a much better rain tire, though even I would have thought other wise with it's seemingly fancy cutout. Tire Rack has already done wet test and the KDW2 has been the fastest ultra-high performance tire tested in it's size range, wet and dry. They don't have the tire in a 215/45-17 which is what I was looking for so I ended up going with the B Pole Pos. 3's. Fairly good tire so far, but the damn tire just majorly follows the road grooves.

If you're gonna spend that kind of cash you better off spend it on some GoodYear Eagle F1's or Dunlop SP-9000's. Trust me you will notice the difference against BF Goodrich. Other to consider: Yokohama AVS Sport.

Better investment and better wear than any BF Goodrich anyday.
