Default Opinion On this tire

I need new tires on my 96 trans am with Ws6 rims, because the snow just started falling today and i don't have a beater yet. I found brand new 4 B.F.G. KDW Directional tires for a nice price but i dont know much about tires. So i may have to drive this a while in the snow so i'll need good tires for a cheap price. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK OR IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR OPINIONS.

If i happen to get a beater soon i would want some high performance tires to slap on so soon as summer comes i can be burnin rubbber.

they are very good tires. I ran them last year when i had to run my car in the snow, and it was ok. they also did very well in dry weather. overall a good tire, and I recommend.

Do you still have them or did you get rid of them? That sounds good to me. I need something that is decent because it seems i'm always driving. i'm also putting like 6 bags of sand in the back where the t tops go. haha

i have the regular kds, and they are great dry weather tires ...they actually arent too bad in the rain, but i never drive in the snow...they have a rating of 6 out of 10 for using in the wet...BUT the kdw's are prolly great in the rain...you know i always take it easy , no hard punches things like that..

hahah, it's not like i'm going to be burning rubber in the winter we got about 3 inches today and i'm about 25 miles away from work so i took it nice and easy doing 45-55 on the freeway. i don't dare punch it in slippery conditions. especially not with my tires now. 2 are good and 2 are bad. One on the front left is bad, front right is good, back left is good, back right is bad. Guy before me had a problem with the alignment. Ones got a leak already and so i need to get these pronto. thanks for the advice.

KDW is a very nice tire. Not 100% sure on the snow capabilities but just take it slow!
