blacker than wesleysnipes- 98' trans am
the KDWs are a better gripping tire for sure..one of the best non drag radials out there...
so no onto the downsides..with that traction comes a decrease in tread life .. the re760's have a little better treadlife but at the expense of traction. so imho go KDW's you will love them

might wanna look into the conti extremecontact dw tire. max perf tire where the other two are ultra high which is one thing for better traction. lighter weight which is the second bonus. better in rain is the third bonus. can get the 285/40 size for the back is the fourth bonus.

I can tell you that most of the technology Bridgestone touts is in thier wet traction arena. I have owned a couple sets of B/S potenzas and found that they cup and are noisy. I liked the way dunlops wore, but didnt get any mileage out of them.
I would go with the KDW's and btw, Dont look too much into the UTQG wear ratings. Its not an accurate measure to the life of a tire. Just make sure you dont overpay for a tire. If you are going to get 20k out of a kumho or 30k out of a KDW and the BFG is 200 dollars more than the kumho, well Im taking the cheaper tire everytime.
thats just my opinion.
I work at a car dealer, and have sold tires for over 10 years. If you have any other questions look me up.

I bought chrome C6 z06 deep dish wheels Friday 18x8.5 F and 18x10.5 R...According to charts 275s wont fit in the front but I've been told by friends at the dealership they can work so that's yet to be seen and I want to put 295s in the rear...here are my options, obviously I'm looking for the best bang for my buck
