Default BFGoodrich KDWs

I'm looking into getting these but every place I go to look at has different pictures of what the treads actually look like. BFGoodrich's website has what I think they look like, but every retailed I look at has a different picture of the tire. Can anyone give me a definite picture of them?

BF Goodrich® g-Force T/A KDW

Thats the exact name of the tire I am looking at.

Well I just igured out they come in alternate tread patterns but have no way of knowing which pattern I am getting when I order.

You have to make sure you specify which tread you want. They have the tread style as part of the part number it seems. If you want the regular tread, make sure you specify TT, for "traditional tread." If you want that newer crazy looking one, specify "NT" for "new tread."

You didn't specify what size you were getting, but the size I got for my car (275/40 R17) only comes in traditional tread.

If you go to the BFGoodrich website and find the KDW tire, click on the "alternate tread pattern" and "specs" to see them both side by side. Hope this helped.

IMO NT New tread looks bad ***. The Traditional TT looks boring to me. Go with NT man! I ordered a pair myself, hopefully it'll come in this week too. 285s! woo!

New Tread is where it's at. Looks good. Handles great.

Oh I'm looking for the stock 245/50/16 size. I'd like to get new rims but I dont have the money right now and I need new tires or I wont pass inspection.


I'm at discounttiredirect.com and I guess you can only choose the traditional thread, which I dont really like.
