Those who have bfg T/A kdw 2's

[Stangdriver13]

I am looking to get new tires in the next month and I was wondering for those of you who have these tires what sizes are you running, i'm on the stock rims and I was wondering if i should go with a 245/40 or a 255/40 or stagger them? I'm going to get a programmer around the same time as the tires so it's not a big deal cause i will change with speedo with the programmer... any suggestions or complaints about these tires?

You will get some replies soon. I've heard nothing but compliments about them really. I have heard they are noisy but I figure exhaust and stereo can drown that out. Those are the tires I'm going for on my 18's in the spring. Good choice!

I have an o/r x so road noise is the least of my concerns, and that is the only compliment i have read about them as well, i didn't know whether to go with those or the t/a kd's it is my daily driver and i drive about 10k annually but plan on sellin it over the summer so tire wear isn't that big of deal to me

They are a great tire imo. I run 295/35/18 on rear and 265/35/18 on the front. I have had them on for about 3k miles. So far they are great, I dont drive the stang much in the winter though. The noise is nothing to complain about really. I mean honestly how can you even hear them with your exhaust is how i look at it. They are pricey but grip great and have no sign of wear at all after 3k miles. I will be buying them again, I hope this helps.

I absolutely love these tires!!

I got 275/35/18 front and 295/35/18 back, best tire for dry or wet road.

what sort of mileage are you guys getting out of them?

I have Nitto's and hate them. They are approaching 40k miles and still appear to have 10 or 20k to go (we are real good on tires, got 42k out of the gatorbacks)

The first time I got those tires it was a set (275/40/17's) for the rear, I bought (used with about 80% tread on them) for 80.00 mounted and balanced from a local shop. They were on for a good 10k-12k miles ( I drive a bit, but It took all my self control not to turn them into white smoke) I was so impressed with thier performance, both wet and dry I bought a brand new set for the rear from www.discounttiredirect.com for a pretty good price. I rate them better than Nitto's persoanlly.

I wanted to get those tires in 315's off tire-rack but they did'nt have them in that size...

I have the 255-40-17 on stock bullit rims. Nice tires but are too noisy for my taste.

 

[CobraRed_96_GT]

cant even hear the tires, might have to do with my exhaust exiting 6" behind me tho

mine came with a 55,000 mile warranty

mine came with a 55,000 mile warranty

I've never seen any warranty on the BFG's

 

[Stangdriver13]

That is what i'm goin to go with is 255/40/17 all the way around so i can rotate them, i figured about 800 for the set and getting them mounted. $160 a tire on tirerack.com if anyone has found a better price please let me know, thanks for everyone's help

I've never seen any warranty on the BFG's

maybe it was a promotional offer but Discount Tire said they will warranty the tires untilmy car reaches 1XX,XXX miles....and they gave me an extra 5,000 miles on top of the 50,000. Still got the papers around her somewhere.

noise isn't a problem. I can't hear anything over the magnapacks

what I need to get away from is the tramlining that I get from the nittos. It drives me insane. It wanders all over the place. Multiple alignments and tire balancing has made it a little less, but it's still there

I have 275/40/17 BFG G-force on my 99 GT on 17x8 Bullitt wheels & I love them. Great handling in wet weather. I would highly recommend them... Larry

Best street tire ive ever run and extremely sticky at the track as well. Was pulling 1.9 60's on my SLAMMED GT (H&R Supersports, no isos, 18's) and awesome on the street as well.
