BFG G Force T/A KDWS

[Lucky]

Any opinions on BF Goodrich G Force T/A KDWS tires for my '96 Vert? $640.50 for the complete set w/mounting-balancing-sale tax
and road hazard warranty. (I was leaning towards Firestone Firehawks but a member recommended these)

Thanks in advance .........Lucky

Lucky - I had been considering the tires that you mention as well, but it was brought to my attention that they are an all season tire, and that is not what I want/need. Not sure if the same holds true for you though.

I will be purchasing tires very soon as well, and I am leaning toward the Bridgestone Potenza RE730 Gen II tires. They are a little more expensive, but every review that I see on these tires states that they grip very well, and that is an important factor for me. I do wish that TireRack would offer free shipping like Discount Tire Direct, though. If Discount Tire Direct carried the Bridgestone tires, I would certainly buy from them instead.

Good luck in your search...

I have the kdws and like them. Nice and quiet compared to Gsc's. Nice ride and good cornering. Never driven in the rain, don't know about that. Good luck, Guy

BF Goodrich G Force T/A KDWS = great in rain, twice the life as Firehawks or GSC's, sacrifice performance. I drive my Vette everyday and they work perfect for me. So I take my favorite sweeping curve at 85mph instead of 90mph. I get to do it twice as many times for the money.

If you are not going to drive it year round, buy the KDW's. They are a little more agressive, and stick like a muther! Tons better than the crappy GSCs.

I have the KDW's on my 95 and love em.

KDW's and Cash

I love the set on my 92. Get the KDWs and use the cash you save for some other cool chrome goodies

Got the KD on mine. Look mean and hook great.

Makes anything goodyear puts out look like a joke

Just put them on my 94 the other day. So far i love them. Very quiet ride and handle great. I paid $788 for four tires balnceing and allignment (highly recommended). Good luck with them i am sure you will love them
