bfgoodrich kdw any good?

[clg82]

I know that they have a bad ass tread pattern, but how about the traction? What have you experienced and what is the best tire for traction on the market, besides slicks or street slicks?

I have the older style KDW (not the flame pattern). And love em. Fairly good street traction. Nothing to write home about.

They are alright in the rain, I don't have TCS and have to watch spinning, but it's nothing that you can't control.


Tread wear has been pretty good. I have about 20k on mine and they still have tons of tread. Much much much better than the stock F1's.

I would recommend them.

If you want the best traction and a "good" street tire, get drag radials. Nittos have the best tread life, but the worst traction, MT's have the best traction, but don't last more than 5k miles.

I have the newer (flame) design and I love them. Best tires I've had yet. Perfect for Socal weather. Great all around performance for my daily driver

These were the stock tires on my 04 GTO, I thought they were a good tire until about 20k. At that point they made driving in the rain lots of fun. I hated them in the snow....
