Yeah the KDWS is the all weather (snow) tire. I have always used those on my Formula since my car was a daily driver in Chicago winters. They handle good and I could get 2.0 60's with them at the track. I liked them alot.

I had KDWS tires, then switched to Pirelli P Zero Neros and like their performance a little better. Not so much of the loss of traction in first and second.

I have KDWS and from any roll, I don't break traction.

Never launched it, though. LOL.

I have KDWS tires, and they suck. I have no traction on dry and wet, never been on snow. They are about done though now, I probably plan on getting gs-d3s now.

My dads got KDWS on his 91 vette and they're a hell of a lot better than the stock goodyears, and there's 0 problems w/ traction. Only reason he got them was cause the tire guy wanted to get rid of them, and gave him a great deal.

If you dont need snow tires, just get the KDW.
