BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWS

I had to make a quick move because of a flat replacement...

Did I get some decent tires?

Thanks!

From the reviews I've read, most people like them. Respectable dry & wet grip. I believe the new Mustangs and GTO's come from the factory with them, so I would think they're a decent tire.

Got them last September; 245-45-17. Put about 8k on the car since. Great grip (took a trip the Tail of the Dragon ), great wear (still look new), very good in rain, and great in snow for an all season. For the price, you cannot beat them.

I have them on my car and i have no complaints about them. They got me through a fairly bad winter with not a single problem and have yet to hydoplain so they get the vote in my book for a good all season daily driven tire.

I had the KDWS on my GTO (factory) and then put on the KDW the second time around. Both are pretty decent tires for street (not track) driving. The 'S' means snow, so the tread pattern is a bit different. Winter traction is pretty good, although if it's really icy you'll still fight for grip a bit. I did notice a bit more aquaplaning with the KDW, but that was expected.

Bottom line, if you can only swing one set of tires for all 4 seasons in MO, you'll be pretty happy.
