RE: Anybody have these tires..??
Hey there, I got 'em on my 05 GT. I bought them from another memeber here on the site who only had about 400 miles on them. Ive since put 500 miles and theyre wearing great. I know its not a lot of miles but I like them so much more than the stock Pirellis. I would certainly consider buying them again.

RE: Anybody have these tires..??
I have a few sets of these tires
05 Cobalt SS 225/45/18 on my daughters car, fronts showed major wear less then 7,000 miles (hmm must of learned how to drive from Dad! lol) Rears looked brand new!
06 Mustang vert S/C 255/35/20 F- 285/30/20 R, 4,000miles on rears and they are showing wear (I wonder why lol) fronts look good. BUT I have noticed either the tires are losing their cornering grip or I'm getting way to used to how well it corners because every once in a while I feel them push when I though the front should have stuck and turned.
They are good in the dry and much better then I thought they would be in the wet. BUT Stay off the new painted stripes when it raining. Unbelieveable, reminded me of when I rode a crotch rocket in the rain!! They are loud when complared to the stock Pirelli tires. But that could be because I went so wide and low profile with the 20's too.

The 235/50/18 BFG KDWS came standard on my '07 GT with 18" premium wheels (fanblades). I only have about 1500 miles on the car, so I can't rate the tire wear. What I can say is they are great in wet weather.
