Question

OK, I just saw a BFGs website that they do not make 245/16's in the KD model. Dang it!

Question

Will not-heated-up Nittos give better traction than Gforce KDW?

Thanks

the KDWS's have been good to me thus far.. and im sure the KDW's and KD's are just better then mine.. id go with those if possible.. or..
get KDW's up front
NITTO 555R's on the back

when the nittos **** out toss the KDW's on the back and give them a shot

That's a good idea, but I just saw that they changed the design on the KDW tires, now they look gay.


What about Firehawks?

when i had my kuhmo's put on (brand new) i STILL couldnt go WOT in first gear until about 3,500 Rpm. but i think the 3.73's had a little to do with that

Ok here are the three best
#1 G-force KD
#2 Bridgestone Potenza re730
#3 Firestone Firehawk I think they are like Sz 50 or something

Ive driven on number 1 and 2 and both of those are all around awesome especially if you drop the psi a little on em

That's my setup, I love it! 555R's are great in the rear.
