Default BFG KD treadwear

For those with BFGoodrich G Force KD tires, how many miles did you get out of a set?

I got 20k I could but more on them, but im not. I used the car for road racing, and had very agressive alignment settings, just make sure you rotate every 4k+-. When they are wamr they stick like glue.. John

Do you think it would be possible to get 35-36000 miles out of a set, if rotated properly and not driven too hard?

No way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would say 20,000 max give or take. Wet weather traction drops off when getting down to lower tread depth's. I was just looking at my tire which I got in may 04 after this weekend they will not be used again for high speed track duty.

The tire for me on a wet skid pad did .79 wet/ only got .90 dry but I screwed up on a suspension setup and it pushed.. SHould of been much higher..

I've had my tires for about 3 years and they still have some tread left. I would say I have almost 30k miles. But I'm not real hard on these tires and when I've gone out to the track I use some other tires to burn up

How well do these tires do in the rain when fairly new ie under 10-15k miles?
