Rear tires are almost bald, and now that I have the wheel hop problem solved (Hotparts.com's J&M upper and lower control arms and yellow Koni adj shocks) I need some new tire suggestions. Anyone have any thoughts/experienc with the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW's on a GT-500?
The KD is a max performance summer tire, the KDW is better in the wet, and the KDWsII (barbwire looking tread) is a good all arounder. Depending on your type of driving, you may want to go to drag radials, NT555R or BFG DRs.
Thanks for the response. I was going to stay with the stock size 255/45-18 fronts and 285/40-18 rears unless someone has some suggestions that would be a better choice for size. I drive 100 miles every day so ride comfort is important but I have several hard corners that are enjoyable to push a bit on the commute so performance is important also. I am leaning towards the g-Force T/A KDW2's (the all around barbed pattern I think would be best for my commute)
BFGoodrich just responded to me in an email as follows: Your original tires were P255/45ZR18 and P285/40ZR18 sizes. These are pmetric sizes and the G Force T/A KDW comes in the metric sizes - 255/45ZR18 and 285/40ZR18. The tire sizing is the same but the metric sizes have a slightly higher load index. I am not sure what load index is but they told me the tires in these pmetric sizes will fit the GT500.
