Default bfg t/a kdws or bfg traction t/a?

I know very little about tires and these two are
in my price range. I live in missouri and concerned
mostly about daily driving as I have bfg drs for
racing. Thanks for any comments

I have KDWS' on mine, they are very good all season wet dry tires. I can't tell you about snow though because my car never comes out then.

I have KDWS's on my V6 and I like them alot, they give really good traction in that car. So even for a daily driver with an 8 cyl as long as your not trying to launch the car all the time I think youll be happy with them, Ive got about 30k miles on them and still have plenty of treadwear.

Oh yeah theyre really really bad in the snow

How can you not get traction in a v6? When i had my auto v6 it wouldn't even power brake.

Dude, I can do nasty burnouts with my v6, as a matter of fact I waiting to get a picture developed on one I did last weekend. I will post it on here as soon as I get it developed. Ive only done it twice since I got the car and got pics of it both times. Ill try to get them developed monday

Anyway thats why I said as long as hes driving somewhat "normal"hell get enough traction with these tires. There are other tires in his price range that have much worse handling characteristics than the KDWS's.
