Default G-Force T/A KDW NT or Vredestein Sessanta

G-Force T/A KDW NT or Vredestein Sessanta

What do you guys think, Ive got it narrowed downed to these two. I am looking for good hook and all around perf., with little emphasis on rain or cold weather perf. Possibly thinking about the vredestein utlracs as well

they hook like hot sex, if that makes sense they hook great. from what ive heard the vredesteins are good too and a little easier on the wallet. but if you can rake up the extra cash id go for BFG's.

KDW's all the way. I have never had any problems with mine. They have held up nicely, right now they have about 25000 miles on them, and still have a little life left. My next set will be KDW's!!!

well I just ordered (2) 295/35/18's G force KDW NT's!! frikkn cheap too! $464 shipped. I shouldn have any rubbing issues I hope, right? currently run 275/35/18, so they'll poke out like .4"s wider on each wheel and like .2"s taller in radius. .4 total. They should tuck in nice. I then will put them up front to check for fitment issues to determine if i should put em on all four when my front go out. 18x9.5's all around.

Man should I have gone with a 315/30/18? I am having buyers remorse already. I think they may have rubbed though, I'm lowered 1.75". What do you think? They dont make the KDW in that size though. I could switch my oder to 315/30-18 Falken Azenis RT-615 for about a $100 more. Need opinions fast!

Previous tires I have had Kumho and Hankook, didn't really care for either that much but I love the KDW's. The only thing I don't like is they don't come in 315's which I would like to have for my next set. So i guess I will be getting the 295's.

Are these the KDW tires you guys are talking about? This is what I have on the rear of my Firehawk and I am wanting to put them on the front also.

I heard they discontinued these and went with a new crazy tread design.

I am looking to get a set of front tires soon.

Thanks for any help.

I have the KDW NT's and love them. That tread design has been out for awhile. It wouldv'e made more sense if BFG would called it something else instead of adding NT(new tread) to the name. The only tires I have had to compare them to are the factory F1's that came on my ws6. The BFG's are 100x better than those.

Now I should of asked before I ordered them. Will I have any problems mounting 295/35/18's on a 9.5" rim? BFG recommends 10-11.5. These are 9.5"s right?
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/m...s/DSC00565.jpg

I thought they were 10.5's because the 275/35/18's are like 10.8"s wide and their pretty much flush with the rim. But I showed some guys and they said they look like 9.5's. The Z06 replicas were either 9.5" or 10.5" what do you guys think about both width and fitment? Thanks
