Default Has anyone used these tires?

BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2

I have used GoodYear F1's and they just don't last.....

Any thoughts on these?

When you say don't last how long before you have to replace? I am looking into maybe getting those.

Default Some of the guys on the Charger forums are using them.

The grip is good, but they appear to be a bit noisy. Not sure if they outlast the Goodyear F1's.

Best,

Default For Max Perf tires they last pretty long

My first set lasted 18k. My current set has 22k on them and I'm about ready to replace them.

Default Yes used on my former car... 98 Cadillac STS

great tire soft compound and good traction. I believe it has the rim edge protector for certain sizes.

Default Many on the B6 S4 forum have them

Consensus is that they have good grip in both dry and wet. Kinda noisy although compared to Kuhmo Ecsta MX's they are quiet. Most tires with large tread blocks are noisy.

Wear is supposed to be good as performance tires go. They are ranked as "Ultra Performance" so they will probably wear a bit better than "Max Performance" tires.

Default F1's

The KDWs should last a bit longer.
