So i thought i had decided on tires... Ok, im sick of trying to figure out what tires to get. I had decided to get the bfg kdw2's. The car does see rain and whatnot since its driven all year long. But then i see that its not supposed to be used around freezing temperatures which i know im gonna see this winter.
Is this a big deal?
im looking for a tire that will hook well but that i can drive year round. around a 275/40/18
Any advice would be appreciated at this point

How wide are your rims? I have a like new set of Fuzion ZR1's(less than 700 miles) that I have been trying to get rid of. They are very nice tires with good wet an dry weather grip. The whole set is 245/40/ZR18 pm me if you think you would be interested. I will make you a great deal.

the kdw2's will be good for the spring/summer/fall. also look at the eagle f1 gs-d3. as far as winter tires go, i still have yet to look into different ones, but i will be shortly. i would not drive or store the kdw2's in freezing temps.

Alright, im stupid. I just remembered i have a pair of stock rimswith a set of tires on them. So i can just use those in the winter, grrr for not matching wheels, but then i guess i can go with the kdw2's or since i can use the stock 245's during the winter, should i go with the bfg kd's instead?
I have 275/40/18's on now. Should i stick with that size or go to the 275/35/18's, I enjoy the better gas mileage the larger tire gives, how much difference in acceleration do you think there would be?
If i go with the kd's the only size is the 275/40s
