Hey all. I'm re-posting this in here because I never get any feedback in other sections. If anyone has any knowledge please let me know. Thanks!

Do you plan on running them all the time? Will you be going to the track with them?

Yes, they will be my DD tire which I don't really drive it much anyways. Track wise, no. They will be more for the occasional road race at a local safe spot we have nearby.

I used to have the G-Force T/A KDWS and they did not hook very well for me. Personally i would give the nittos a try.

I dont understand why you guys like the KDWSs so much. I had them in 245 and they lost grip at any rpm in 1st if i cracked it open and a little in 2nd and i switched to BFG g-force sport 255 wide and now they barely spin in 1st and just sqeak a little going into 2nd. Bone stock M6 btw...

step up your tire game! i mean size. run 275 minimum in the back, air down if you want to hook. spinning tires is nothing to brag about, its just your *** getting left on the line

Yeah I know lol. The widest tire I can run on the stock 16"ers is a 255... I wasn't trying to brag just trying to get across I think BFG KDWSs are really bad at tractioning. This is all on the street too btw...

Nitto's last longer than the BFG DR. Nitto's have a 100 tread wear, BFG DR have 0 tread wear.

I would go with the nitto 555 etxreme r's! They hook decent and have a good tread life.
