BFGoodrich g-Force T/A® KDW NT Tires
http://customwheel.com/custom_wheels/images/gforce_kdw_large.gif

I've heard mixed reviews about them.. Most people said they are awesome tires but the only drawback was they are extremely noisy.. My Dad has them on his mustang and says the noise isn't that bad. I haven't had a chance to see them yet since he is about 350 miles away from me..

Anybody try these?

ive never tired them personally, but i used to sell these tires and all the customers i sold them to loved them

I had a friend that had them on his integra, decent grip, very noisy between 45 to 65 mph.

There are stickier tires for less money out there. Kumho XS, Dunlop*Specs

For daily drivers I run BFG G-Force, much cheaper, just as sticky. Some people like them [KDW's] just for the tread pattern I think.

I second the G-Force Sports, theyre awesome for the price

Same here, I've heard some people love them others don't. The one common complaint I heard was they were a bit noisy. I'm riding on Nitto Neo-Gens, very pleased with them and at $85 each a pretty good deal IMO.

Better go for a ride to see your dad or meet him half way to see the tires for yourself.

I like the look, haven't tried them. I was told by a salesperson that the noice isn't that bad but they melt in front of your eyes (don't last long).
I'm kinda hesitating now to get them since I want a tire that lasts a bit but looks good.

those are one of the best tires made for our car. although i like the riker raptors better , price/grip ratio for the rikens is higher

I'm running BFG KDW 2 215/40R18 and they are great lots of grip. around 55mph they start making noise but you can live with it. i love them.

pm svtzx555 as he had/has them on his ST

I have a set setting in my garage waiting to go on. Eliaslincoln has them and he adores them. great grip (wet & dry) and he said they have lasted longer than any of his other tires. I also had a buddy with them on his highly modded z-28 and they would start to break loose but did a pretty good job for all the power he was throwing down.

another thing I have noticed that the 215/40R18's waiting to go on are substantially wider (area on pavement) than that of my 215/35R19 or my 215/35R18, explain that one to me. cant wait to get them on.

Wicked guys, thanks for your input.
I was back home on the weekend and heard them on my Dad's ride. The noise was not that bad at all.
