BFG VS. NITTO
I cant make up my mind on which tires to get. i had my mind made up on the bfg t/a kd's, then i talked to a guy at tire rack and he said they would be horrible in the rain. so he recommended the kdw 2's. im just worried those wont hook up. anyone have any experience with nitto dr's? i need some help here. by the way the reason im so concerned about traction is because as of right now it's non existint. but in a week im getting a procharger installed so i need new tires. help me out. please.

Neither, Mickey thompson ET streets if you are wanting dry hooking traction. I have the bfg gforce KDW tires on my car and they have good wet traction as long as you keep you foot out of it!

RE: BFG VS. NITTO
First off I hope you don't plan to get a Drag Radial and have it rated for Wet weather. All DR's are for Dry traction only. BF's are way better than Nittos all over, however the KDW's tend to be noisy on the road as you can tell by the Truck tread pattern..lol I don't think you want a Drag Radial for a DD if you drive in the rain. I would suggest somethiong like A Toyo Proxy 4 or look up Tire Rack and check out GENERAL tires. They have some swet tires for the money

i rarely drive in the rain. so im not too concerned about that. i just want a tire that will get good traction, and last atleast 12K miles. with that said whats the best tire?
