BFG T/A tires?
 
Both the KDW NT or the Drag Radial.

Im looking at both right now for my new wheels & tire combo, either the KDW all around, or KDW's up front and the drag radials in the rear. When i get my I'm ready for this I want to splurge and get one of the best tires I can get for my car for good street grip, street handeling, and the occasional tear down the 1/4. One thing I already know is they make alot of road noise, but I think on my car that will be the last thing I hear.

So my question is how many people here are running them, and if so do you guys have any thing to say about them, good or bad? Or has anyone heard otherwise?

They would be going on my car which will no longer be my daily driver, and will see very low miles every year.

Thanks for the help!

i have the kdw g forces and no complaints its a great tire... i wanted the nt but they didnt make them in the size at the time just the old tread

KDW good, the drag radials are awful though. Mine lasted about 2000 miles without even a pass down the track. My recommendation is Nitto 555's out front and 555R's out back. The Nitto drag radial was fairly good in the rain and still hooked well for me atthe track. I currently have 555's on the front of my car and KDW's out back with no complaints but I will be going back to 555R's as soon as my rears need changing

I love my KDW's. They handle great.

+1 for the nitto 555R's

they lasted me and i bought em from someone on tech a while ago. they had like 3k miles on them, still looked new. then i had em for a few months, did alot of ************ on them and went to the track a few times when they were bald and still cut 1.9 60's. they werent bad in the rain either. i got caught in a nasty downpour on the GSP and they did better than expected.

Yeah I got 17K out of my 555R's, nice tire
