What Kind Of Ftires Is Everyone Running????

I am looking to get a set of tires for my car in the next couple weeks. I am looking at the BF GOODRICH COMP TA G-FORCE KDWS. Just curious what you guys are running. Could you post what you are running, how good they are, and how long they have lasted you. If you are running the kind of tire I mentioned, or have ran it, what do you think of them. THanks in advance Jason

Currently running 245/50-16 Dunlop 5000S on the '92 Camaro. Have about 15K miles on them. So far tread wear is good. Probably would not but again though. Would try something else.

On the '87 Trans Am 255/50-16 Kuhmo's on the back and 255/50-16 Falken's on the front.

If I had to buy a new set of tires today, I would buy the Falken's. I have been happy with them in the past and they are a great price.

I have BF Goodrich Comp T/A Drag Radial 255/50/16's on the rears & BF Goodrich KDWS on the front, 245/50/16.

The KDWS are nice, the tread is extremely tall though.

How many miles have you got out of the KDWS tires. HOw are they wearing, and how do they handle. What does the tread being tall do to affect the tire, or do you just not prefer it that way???? THanks for the info, I am looking at getting my KDWS TIRES next sunday.
