Posted this one over at ls1tech but figured a cross-post over here would also be a good idea since I always get great info from you guys...


Hey guys, I was wondering how much better the nitto drag radials hook than the BFG g-force t/a kdws on the street for a 98 m6 trans am. I don't see the track very often at all, and the problem I have is that I'd love to get a set of radials in the rear, but I hear they're terrible in the snow, so I don't know how much I'd trust them on the highway...I hear the bfg's are pretty good all around performance with excellent wet traction and decent snow traction, but are they several tenths slower than the radials? The car is stock for now with eventual plans to do boltons and a 100 shot with a goal of around 400-430 horses. I figure the nitrous will kill all my traction without a progressive controller anyway, so I'm looking to be able to hook on these tires if I launch at around 2k or 2500 rpms (damn weak rear end) with say 320 or so N/A ponies in case I want to have a little stoplight fun...Car is on its second set of stock F1's now (16" rim), so would something like the bfg in front and nitto in the back be a viable option? Otherwise I'd just go with 4 kdws all around I think, they sound like very good tires for the cash.

personaly i think neither of them are good in the snow. I would say the kdw's are better b/c of the tread, but then again snow tires are built so as they turn they clean themselves. check out www.tirerack.com and see what they say.
