KDW, the KDW2 tread is just plain ugly

 

The KDW 2 is a Drag Radial

 

The KDW 2 is NOT a drag radial. I've heard great things about both of the BFG tires. I only run BFG's, they seem to wear the best and get really good traction. As far as the choice between the 2, I am probably going to get the KDW 2 for my car. They both get really good ratings, and I am pretty sure they wear about the same. I like the look of the tread of the KDW 2 thats why I chose them over the KDW.

 

Just don't get the KDWS tires. Traction in those SUCKS, even in winter which they are supposed to be rated for as well.

I'd rather have gone with the KD's or KDW's cause the KDWS don't provide any useable traction in the winter.

 

I've been running the KDW and I am very pleased with them. From what I was told the new style tread isn't available in all sizes and I don't really like the new tread design either.

 

I think I'm going to get the Fuzions. I think it's a highly advanced design for less than $100 each (255 40 17). I think they are a great deal.

 

KDW 2s they are great tires and they look sick

 

I too have the KDW's I really like them good wear and great Traction, can't comment on poor weather Traction as the car only leaves the garage on noce days, hope this helps, later GTA.....

 

i keep hearing everyone talk about these new Fuzions..

on tire rack they got awesome ratings too.. and only cost 116$ for 275/40/17!!!!

every tire store i have called in my area highly recomend them or are out of stock on them... crazy..

im going to have 2 put on, on monday.

 

You can't get the KDW2 tread on a 275.40.17 tire. Not sure about the 16" sizes. I wasn't going to buy them if they came with that uglyass tread, I think that's just for the imports. Go with the KDW, you won't be dissapointed.

 

Thanks to everyone who gave me some help...Im looking for some 245/40/18 tires....From what it looks like,all the tires are good....

 

Hey Killjoy,
Let me know ASAP when you mount the tires...Im going to buy some tires today and its down to the KDW2 or the Fuzions...If i get the Goodyears,i cant buy me hood but if i buy the fuzions i can order my hood

 

Yeah....kinda looks like those ugly "tribal" tattoos and graphics.

 

I dont think you can choose which tread pattern you want for the KDW. Each size just comes as one or the other. I have them in 245/50ZR16 which is the traditional tread. So far I really like them, great handling and feel, and predictable at the limits.

here is a pdf with the available sizes and tread patterns -> http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/asset...rce_ta_kdw.pdf

According to it, 245/45ZR18 comes with the new tread (KDW 2).

 

on tirerack.com,they state that the KDW and the KDW2 come in 245/40/18

 

Iheard good about the fuzions...they look good too

 

BFG stopped making g-force KDW tires. (at least this is what they saID AT discount tire). You can only get KDW-S.

I had G-force KDW tires on and got a flat....went to disco tire to get a new one and they looked at every store all over the country and could not find any left in stock.

 

well,i just bought 4 BFG KDW 245/40/18..They came in yesterday..Going to get them mounted and balanced at a mom and pop shop and then bring them to Americas Tire Company for their road hazard warranty

 

I saw and read that both of the tires are the same. The only difference is that the KDW2 is a new thread pattern. I have the first ones but if I had to purchase new ones, I would go with the second ones for the reason that the first ones might soon be discontinued. As far as I know, KDW2 doesn't exsist, it is just KDW with the choice of two different thread patterns. www.bfgoodrichtires.com
