I've been running the bfg kdws for about 2 years now. Will probably got to a summer tire next time not really sure why I went with an all season in the first place. I've got about 25,000 on the tires so far and can easly get another 5,000 out of them before the summer rains come.

Im trying the G-Force Super Sport. Not many miles on them yet but definately stickier than the BFG Radial TA they replace.

wet weather and the 615's dont go very well. Especially tail happy f-body's. I would recommend Nitto 555's. Best all around tire for the price.

hey "driving", the nitto 555's are really nice I want to buy them but is that only a drag radial or could I get them for the front and back?

So did you consider the G Force Super Sport AS at $540 a set?

I run continental extremecontacts. I use them in the winter and have better control then in my truck and running with 4.10 gears.

i bought these last august--also now not sure why i went with all season in TX--thought i'd get more tread life but didn't realize how much stick i'd be giving up. I will definately be getting something different. Lots of tread squirm, very noisy (squeal easily), and give a much 'looser' feel. I"ve had eagle f1's and bfg gforce sports before these and both were much better. looking at kuhmo spt's or the nitto 555's listed above as options for next time.

Very true on all acounts but They do what I need them to do and in colorado it snows enough to justify them. Not great for wet traction but did last longer then i thought they would. for wet or dry traction nitto 555
