Initial Review, 15,000 Miles on Tires
July 13, 2010

When NEW this tire is pretty darn great, tread life and noise not so great--wet traction not so great. But I really had these to replace the michilin pilot sports and for the small fraction of $$$ I saved it was a big dissapointment near the end of the tire life. Let's just say that when I thought there was another 5000 miles to be had the entire tread tore apart from the tire and flew off the vehicle. NOT A SAFE TIRE near the end of life... The pilot sports were much better made near the core of it's assembly... Initial quality of BFG is great, but that greatness completely fades to unacceptable rather sadly...

I have used this tire for my last six sets of tires on my corvettes. I autocross and take 4-500 mile runs on the highway each summer. I usually get 20,000 miles on each set. They stick almost as well as my race slicks. I am very disappointed in BF Goodrich on discontinuing this tire. Often said I would use nothing else. Could not imagine the number of KD's I have talked people into buying. Bf Goodrich real made a mistake here.

2003 Corvette ZO6 with 525bhp. This is by far the best performing street tire I have ever driven on. The steering response is almost immediate. The cornering is rock solid and, once you get use to the tires, predictable. The tread wear is pretty good, especially considering the near R tread compound. The ride comfort is pretty good. My only real complaint is that BF Goodrich has discontinued the KD for some unknown (ridiculous) reason. Bring back the KD!!! ...or at least something equal to it.

For track events on dry pavement this is THE tire to have. Sticks nearly as well as a full race compound tire, but lasts much, much longer. Tread blocks are a bit too thick and are prone to overheating in the summer when driven to the limit. Other than that, this is the only tire Ill run until I can afford full race slicks every event.

These were a vast improvement over the stock Bridgstones. But past experience with BFG's I'm not expecting the life to be too long. On asphalt AutoCross courses, they aren't too bad, but improvement, over over B'stones was not as well as Khumos, or R1's, etc tires, Got a set of Z710's, I expect will give more.

These tires are a fantastic compliment to a Nissan 350Z with upgraded suspension, brakes, etc. They are very predictable and perform very well during aggressive driving. I have put them to the test on the canyon roads in southern California and are quick to turn in and hold their line very well. On the track, they maintain their grip and do not fade as they get hot. Also, I found that there is enough feel that you can sense the limit of grip. The also work just fine in the city/highways of Los Angeles, but they might be a bit noisy and a bit firmer than some might like - they really are a performance tire. I have no experience in the wet, but they are not designed for the rain at all. (Get the KDW if rain is an issue.) I would recommend this tire for the performance minded driver.
