Default People who want 275/40/17 KDWs come in

There have been some rumors on the forum that the KDW will no longer be made. Thats partly true. BFG is making the 275/40/17 in the new tread pattern, known as the KDW2. So the traditional tread, the normal KDW is dead. They will be ready in october. This is coming directly from Michelin. Just thought id let all of you know

I wonder if there is any chance in getting a 315/35/17 KDW, wishful thinking, but you never know.

Damn took them long enough.

the NT should have been out along time ago in that size. I love the NTs, but Im still pissed about them discontinuing the KD.

Here is the email I got from BFG. I asked about the new tread and a possible 315 size. Here is thier reply:

James,

Thank you for your email. We welcome the opportunity to serve you.

is no current production.

We will forward your request to our Marketing Department for future
consideration in manufacturing the BFGoodrich G-Force KDW in size

We greatly appreciate your business.

It is our goal to ensure that your issue has been resolved or your question
