New Tires - Woot!
Just got my BFG G-Force KTW NT's mounted. I like them! Smoother and a little less noise than the Kunho's (of course these are new).
I know it's my imagination, but they seem slighty taller from the rim to the tread and slightly wider, in the same sizes I had. They tire guy said BFG tends to run a little wider than other tires. Whatever - can't wait to give them a real test.

I got the same tires and love them. It rained here last night (nothing new for Jax,FL) and I got play with them a bit in the rain. They grip pretty good in wet conditions and I love the fact they don't pull when you go through a puddle or any kind of standing water. I still have yet to do a somewhat hard launch to see how well they grip in dry conditions but I agree, for what they are they're pretty good tires.

I suppose it's ok as long as you detailed it immediately afterwards??
I'll admit to driving a different car if it's going to rain on a planned Vette trip but I have been caught in the rain a few times...
I can't help it I'm ****!!!
Lol @ me...
Yeah, Rob's C-5... You're right, that is a WEIRD Avatar! Whoa!!

Those look a lot like the KDW 2's, what is the difference? I didn't see that model listed on tirerack or BFGs site. I guess the T designation means they are suitable for Turf 
?
