I have been looking for tires for few month. G-force T/A KDW2 made better scores over Michilen and others on TIRERACK.COM. I am wondering how are they really working on carS? Any fule economy loss or gain? How about the noise. Thanks

 

HAVe them on my sti wrx. they hook harder my 60 foots went from high 1.6s to low 1.6. 1.601 best on them

 

Thanks a lot.

 

sorry but how can tires change the fuel economy?

Couldnt tell you about fuel econ, not sure how the coupe could get any worse : /

They arent louder, its just a different tone, a bit lower. Its easier to distinquish, but not louder. Mine are new and they are sticky. It's hard to spin the tires right now, even in a hard turn. The rain? Fuggetaboutit. They are on rails.

Only down side? I went around to some tire shops to get them mounted and BFG gets ZERO respect, even from BFG dealers. BFG is coming back big on the coasts. Especially with the KDW2 series. But you might have to hear crap like "why didnt you get Pilots?" or "You shouldnt try to save money on tires with a car like that".

 

weight, how long it takes to warm up.. ?

 

Yes,indeed. If you drive with snow tire or high grip ones on dry road, They will affect a little bit fule economy and speed at same RPM compared to performance or racing tires.

 

I have had my KDWs for about a month and I have no complaints at all! The tread pattern looks wicked, much better than the Pilots! I believe they have better grip than the Pilots, also.

They don't make them in 20" diameter, do they?

 

Yes they do. I'm running 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 on these tires.

 

Wow, I am so happy they makes these- there is a God!

Do you mind sharing the cost for the tires? I am looking to get the same sizes.

 

I've been using them for a few months now and there pretty nice. They grip well on the dry stuff and during the heavy rain that just came through they were great. No hydroplaning at all and gripped better than I ever expected. The tire guys I know highly recommend them and the price is much better than many of the other tires mentioned above. When I bought my 245/45/18's they were going for $160 a tire. A guy told me he was selling them for $140 a tire right now. Thats alot cheaper than $230 or $250 for some of the other tires I hear people complaining about. My stock Goodyears rsa cost more and they sucked for the most part. Especially if there was any water on the road. I was also looking into some pirellis but they were back order until who knows when.

 

i'm running these tires and very happy with them

 

I just had to switch to these tires from falken fk451's and had heard many good things about them. Discount tires messed up my wheel/tire order so they offered me the KDW2's for the same price as the falken fk451s...going to run 245/35/19 front and 285/35/19 rear on a 19x9, 19x10 setup. I'll let you guys know how they work...should get em either today or tomorrow...Im not sure how you got them so cheap, Ive searched everywhere and the cheapest I have seen the 245/35/19 was around $280-300 a tire...

 

I actually bought these from my buddy who took them off his Z with about 300 miles on them. Sorry not much help there. However, these tires are amazing!!!
