I had the KDW's ("old" tread design) on my stock rims and loved them. Good wet and dry traction, though I never did any really hard launches on them. Relatively low road noise (compared to the Kumho 712's they replaced) and good wear. I would definitely buy them again, but they don't make them in a 315/35/17.

I have all three versions:
KDWS - very nice all season tire, quiet, decent traction.
KDW - Good tire, better traction. ( i'd recommend)
KD - Decent tire, good traction, but VERY noisey . . . .

The KDW is actually the new tread pattern. I had the old tread pattern and I prefer it, but that's me.

they are nice tires, i am currently running the KDW NT's or KDW 2's whatever you call the new tread pattern. but i have only driven on them maybe 150 miles or so, but so far i love em. the ride is nice and they look aggressive
I run KDW's on the front of my car (nittos on back) and I've got no complaints. Y-rated (upto 186 mph?), not noisy, good grip for the front, good wear and I like the tread pattern too. 
Only thing is they are a bit on the heavy side. I like them better than the stock F1's.

I got kdws tires and they get good traction and are really good in the rain unlike my old Daytonas.
I went from a 245/50 16 to a 275/40 17 and felt no weight differnce -when lifting the 16inch then 17inch tire, both with rims on- even though the kdws are bigger widder tires. But the big difference was in tire performance.

usually i run dunlops (sp 9000), but they only make a 285-35/18 and i wanted a 295. the kdw nt's caught my eye, so i bought them for my ss w/ 18" c6 motorsports (18 x 9.5 w/ 275 up front, 18 x 10.5 w/ 295 out back) and so far i've cruised hard thru the foothills a couple times and they seem like great tires. i'll know more in a few thousand miles if they wear good. so far, i'm a happy consumer. i'd go with them again.
