BFG KDW's are awesome all weather tires, simply awesome. You pay for'em, but they kick ***.
i figured theyd be pretty good. hows the mileage on 'em ?? get good wear on 'em or have you not had them personally ??

ORIGINAL: UT04GT

in the rain they are better than factory in a straight line but around turns it can get a bit hairy. Where I was able to easily punch the gas and break traction on factory tires in a straight line it's not as easy to do with the 555's. In the rain it's a battle to keep the rear wheels under me, I don't have traction control though
i dont have traction control either. i have the factory traction-lok right now....but, i should have a locker next year....

They aren't great i nthe rai nbut my 285 555s with traction control on never give me trouble driving regular in the rain but it would be easy to lose it if you were going fast or playing around.
