What BFgoodrich Tire should I get?

Tire might see some daily driver action, but I mainly want them for the track.
i wanna keep the selection semi 10 bolt friendly, cause i kno the 4:11's will snap quickly *Will also have a SLP clutch*

How are the gforce t/a KDW's and KDWS's as far as cutting a good 60' time for those who have 6spd cars??

or should i just get seperate 16" rims and just go with their drag radials??

i was gonna use M/T ET streets before, but im kinda glad i didnt because it's a bit overkill for these damn 10 bolts
im pulling 2.2 60' right now on Mastercraft street radials, im hoping for at least a 2.0 or possbily a 1.9 if i can pull it off at the line

I have the BFG G-Force KDW's. They are good in terms of try traction but I was VERY dissappointed in the handleing. There is a lot of flex in the sidewall. I had an old school set of Bridgestone Potenza RE730s. They handled awsome, off the line traction sucked.

Re: What BFgoodrich Tire should I get?

Its a daily driver. I rarely go to the track or race anymore, but want traction when I need it. Both for handling and dragging. I don't believe in letting the tires limit the car.

The thing w/the KD is that they heat up and get sticky like a DR. They're much more of a track tire than the KDW or KDWS. So, either them, GSD3 or spend the cash and get different wheels and DR's. W/the 16" wheels and DR's you'll have a taller more plyable sidewall which is great for drags. I've done the 2nd set of wheels thing. It sucks when you're driving on your street tires and you need traction and the soft tires aren't on the car.

So far I have ~15K miles on these tires w/ at least 75% of the tread left. No I don't baby it, but I also don't do burn outs just to leave a mark. So they're wearing pretty well.
