Tire question (BFG KDW)
 

So I have a chance to get a set of KDW tire for my car for a great price. I am checking on tire code/Mfg date

Anyway, they would be replacing Michelin Pilot sports. before I buy them I wanted to get an idea of how good the tires are..

THANKS

Michelins are the best,IMHO. The KDW's are probably on par with a Nitto.
I have heard numerous people complain about excessive road noise with the KDW's.

While they may exhibit a bit more road noise than other brands, i've had good luck with several set on the c5 Z06 cars.

Once there hot they stick pretty nicely.

If its a good deal get them, they haven't been manufactured in atleast three years.

If I remember correctly discount tire was $550 for a set when they were blowing them out of inventory

Re: Tire question (BFG KDW)
 

For a set of 4? In stock ZR-1 sizes?

The last set I bought was two years ago. DT was moving out the KDW inventory as it was being discontinued.

Sizes were stock Z06 sizes

265/40/17 front
295/35/18 rear

548 shipped to my door

Hmm deal to me is not that good.. But close.. Need to look at my current tires too

Re: Tire question (BFG KDW)
 

Jeff,

My first ZR had KDWs on it when I bought it. In the typical rain storm you get in May in Kentucky, these tires were downright scary. I couldn't go slow enough to feel safe. This was in 2007. Can't imagine these would be even close to the Pilot Sports.

Re: Tire question (BFG KDW)
 

KDW's are great tires and reasonably priced

You do get a bit of road noise and they are more of a summer tire. Might not be that great in the rain

I've had great success with Michelin PS2's but they are pricey

:cheers:
