BFG KDW v. KDWS
BFG KDW v. KDWS what are the main difference between these 2 tires? Do the KDW hook up better at the track? or are the main differences at higher speeds?
I just need some good tires that will hook up at the drag strip, acceleration and very little wheel spin are my main concerns

I have the kd's and they are amazing. I cut a 1.829 60' on 3/32" of tread. They are manageable in the rain but unbearable in the snow. If snow isn't a concern, definitely go for the kd's.
does anyone have the KDWS that can put some input on this? they are pretty cheap and they seem like decent tires, the fact is i dont have much money right now so this is my main option
I've had two sets of KDWS and love them. Very grippy tire, good treadwear, very good in the rain. I have only had them in the snow for a few dozen feet(mountain passes) and had no problems. Very nice all around tire with still alot of emphasis on performance.
What price/size are you looking at?
Also, for the price a set of Toyos or Kuhmos may be worth looking into.

i used to sell tires for a living, the KDWS isnt what your looking for with this type of car..... if u must drive your car year-round, it would be more effective to get a pair of snow tires for the rear during the winter, but trying to mix a snow tire with a z-rating isnt as good as it makes it out to be, it will be lacking in both aspects. in the end you wont be happy with the results.
if u dont mind me asking how much ur getting them for?
im pretty sure there around $200 per??

I wouldnt worry about getting anything snow rated for elpaso.
Kumho's are fairly cheap and a great tire. I'd suggest those for a cheaper price than the BFG KDWs. I run the KDWs and have got 30k miles out of them with ALOT of tread left on the back... the fronts are wearing b/c the alignment is wacked to hell...
But they are a great tire.

I'd go for the KD or KDW considering your circumstances...you will not be dissapointed in grip, road feel, or tread wear....although truthfully, I'd consider going super aggressive on your 16's and buying some 17's for the future!
