There is nothing wrong with a BFG KDW on the front. They are not drag radials and are similar to a Nitto 555 and not similar to the Nitto 555R which is a drag radial. A drag radial is designed to "heat cycle" over and over for traction, i.e. a burn out, whereas a street tire is not designed to heat cycle for traction.

KDWs are normal street tires there is no problem running them in the front.

They're good tires but they are pretty noisy since they have large lugs in the tread. I have the GY Eagle GT's on my car and I love them. They are quiet, have great wet & dry traction, handle fantastic in the corners, and are smooth at any speed, even triple digits.
