Finally bit the bullet and ordered up some new BFG KDW (295/35/18) The Kuhmo Esta MX's were pretty much warn out before I did my head/cam swap so I haven't yet had a good tire on the rear with my current power levels. Wonder what I can expect with these tires, as far as hooking up with my power keeping in mind I am on the stock 3.23's and converter...

 

Well if you ordered them it's a bit late to be worried about it isn't it?

My buddy has a H/C 383 97 SS and he claims it hooks up pretty well with those tires. Not sure what size he has, they're on firehawk wheels. I'd assume 275/40/17

 

Did you get KDWs or the KDWIIs???

The KDWIIs are the real performer KDWs are not supposed to be too bad though

 

I got the KDW2's the 2 being the NT or the New Tread design

 

Good Deal I've got them on my car and while you have about 80 more HP I think you'll find them up to the task

I can spin them through 1st and into second, but they still keep the car straight and handle VERY WELL

Also very good wet traction

 

Got the tires on today, and MAN they frickin' dead hook! Granted I'm launching just over idle still I am very satisfied! When the time comes again (hopefully not for a while $$) I will be getting these tires again!

 

Wait till you drive in the rain, thats what makes them awesome to me.. oh and yeah they hook awesome too
