Anybody running BFG KDW2????

I have heard a lot of good things about the BFG KDW2 (New Tread) Anybody running them or plan on running them?? They offer the proper 19 inch sizes for our cars for 2004 (according to the new catalog I got, and their website)

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Don't do it. The G-Force tires from BFG suck. Tread life sucks and they have a really bad habit of warping on the rim when moving, so you will constantly have these things low on air. I had twos sets on my Impala when the T/A's finally went and I hated them.

I have heard some stories similar to that with certain Comp T/As such as the old school Euro, and the Scorchers. However I believe the side wall on these (KDW2) are pretty stiff according to some ppl who autocross and drift with them.

I had KDWS's on my Mustang GT, nice riding tire, quiet and handled just fine, a huge improvement over the Goodyear's that it came with.

They were the KDWS, I looked at the BFG website, http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/bfgapp/index.jsp but didn't see any KDW2's, maybe I was looking in the wrong place.

The KDW is also known as the KDW2 because this is the second generation of the KDW. The KDWS I wouldnt consider because I am not a fan of A/S tires period!

Also I am looking specifically at these tires and only reviews on these. I know ppl have bad experiences with BFG tires but its unfair to judge the entire brand based on one or 2 tires. Ex. If you ever drove a car with Toyo FZ4s you'd swear Toyo sucks and never give the T1S the time of day.
