RE: Bf Goodrich tires

OK so how are the KDWs as far as traction goes? I know they are not a drag tire but I was just wondering if anyone has ran them at the track with any success?

RE: Bf Goodrich tires

I purchased some with my Shelby 20's (265/275) when Ifirst gotthe car. 25k later they are falling apart. Pieces of treadblock are shedding/wearing away. I was REALLY happy with the performance but I guess with any performance tire you're going to start having issues at around 25k. I was just hoping they would last longer at $250 ea....[&o]

I look to put a LOT fewer miles on the car this year. lol! I've had a blast with it this first year!

If you want to get compliments on your tires BFG KDW II's are the way to go. I have had tons of people say the tread pattern is so bad ***..

I also liked the tread pattern. I ordered mine from Merchant's Tire. Their prices were the lowest I could find.

I want to get the most traction I can out of a street tire but not with too much road noise. When you guys say they are alittle loud do you mean like truck tires humming on the highway?

Not too loud...just a little louder than the stockPirelli tires. With windows up, a/con and radio on I couldn't hear them. With windows down, radio off and cruising I could hear them.

RE: Bf Goodrich tires

I never heard mine either until parts of tread started shedding away at 20k

. Then they became really loud. Other than that, great performing tire and they sure do look great.

RE: Bf Goodrich tires

I love mine..... the tread pattern is awesome! If you wont use in the the rain or not worried about wet traction then maybe stick witht he Nitto's as they are a great sticky tire too. The KDW2's are designed for wet and dry traction and though my car nevers see water or rain I bought them for the looks and traction second. They are excellent performers on dry pavement too...... but I wanted the tread design

I haveGoodyear Eagles on the GT500 and on my GMC Sierra. The Goodyears are nice tires but I like the BFG's better. I am real tempted to pull the Goodyear's from the GT500 and replace them with BFG...only thing,my wife is likely to raise holy hell! LOL

RE: Bf Goodrich tires

Riptide, look at the bright side. New 18 wheels.

I have the 18 BFG that can stock with the car. Also most 13,000 on them. Road nosie is NOT a problem. Traction on the street is good. At the drag strip, not so good. At 13,000 wear is not a problem, but I do get to the track, and I do burn outs. So I will be replacing them by next year I guess.
