Right now I have g-force's 315/35/17. Just found a small nail in the sidewall of one, so heating them up at the track at low pressure is out of the question. Also the tread, or should I say lack there of, is really absolutly gone.

I know the g-forces are really good but are expensive as hell $263 a piece. While the Comp-ta is $164. That is a $200 differance. What are the differences between the comp t/a and g-force. Will I get the same straight line/track performace between the two.

Please any information, times to back up your stories, or anthing to help will be appreciated.

Well, I used to run 295/40/20 BFG G-Force KDW on my truck and they were really nice tires. Rode and wore well, and they stuck nice on launches. Im pushin a lot of power to the wheels in a pickup and had good traction. Comp T/A wont last you long but will stick a little better.

 

How long do the comp ta's last compared to the kdw's?

 

Ok, well I am a moron.. Everyone is allowed a brain fart every once in a while right?

I currently have the comp ta's not the g-force. Here is what I am really looking for. I know the comp ta will last 4000miles max. And the g-force will last 10-15k if taken care of. Basically what kind of performace loss will I have going with the KD. My Z28 is my daily driver so I put miles on it, and the comp ta's seem to be a waste for me.

Input?

thanks

I would go with the KDW. With proper maintenance like balancing and whatnot, you can get like 25,000 miles from them.

 

how do the perform at the track? I mean the comp ta's kick *** obviously, but arnt economical. So basically, will I get close to similar launching traction with the KD's?

I thought the Comp T/A ZRs were discontinued

 

the comp ta drag radials are still on the market, I dont know what the zr's are and if they are the same ones I have. But I know the Comp ta's are available.

Any more input on the kd's

me too, my girlfriends car had them and they were fantastic tires for the money, great traction and a nice ride quality.

 

thanks for the input fellas.

Anyone else have any suggestions or comments?

 

Comp T/A Drag Radials do kick *** when it comes to traction, but they suck *** when it comes to tread life. I bought my first pair last February and had to get my second pair in September of the same year. G-Force are a good all around tire especially the KDW's (King of Dry and Wet), but if you wan't traction whenever you need it, stick with the BFG DR's.

 

they dont make the kdw in a 315/35/17 do they? At least I cant find it on discount tire direct.

 

I think they do, but there an arm and a leg.
