Re: KDW - KD Whats the diff?

They get meaner as you subtract the letters.

KDWS = ok
KDW = better
KDs = best





The KDs have huge tread blocks on the outside half.

Re: KDW - KD Whats the diff?

KD(ry) is for dry traction only.
KDW(et) is for dry and wet traction
KDWS(now) if an all-weather tire, good for snow.

The NT stands for New Tread. They have an old design and a new one.

KDWS was ok, but great treadwear and all seasons. If I had to a go all season again, I might get these, but never did get any snow/ice to try them in.

The NT tires remind me of swamp thing for some reason. TT (Traditional Tread) is where it's at, imo.

I have the NT, and well I'd say you're DEAD WRONG

The NT is awesome, excellent dry traction, and I am able to keep the car straight in the rain, well if I don't use to much of the loud pedal anyways....

Definitely much better than the original tread Except you'll need 18" rims to fit the correct size

Are you asking us if they still make them? If so, BFG does not list a "KD" model on their website any more. They have realigned their tire names a bit over the years.

And since this thread is now 2-1/2 years old, I'm not sure how important it is
