BFG KDW II or NT05?

[bigpappy33]

Front tires are about done. I have been running the BFG KDW II in the front, but might be looking to change things up. I am currently running NT05s in the rear, any one run them up front? Any other good tire recommendation? Those BFGs are so expensive in a 255/35/20.

I have a friend who owns a performance shop that runs them up front and he says they work well for the road...

Just match the fronts with the rears and go with the NT05s.

I run 275/40/18 NT05's in the front. Awesome tire!

 

[Pike2244]

Do you do any kind of racing with them???

NT05's hands down. My car loves them!

What mileage are you getting out of the NT05's and with what type of driving?

 

[bigpappy33]

That's what I am wondering, I am sure the NT05s will handle great up front, but I got alot of mileage out of the BFGs...


Also what size would you guys go with? It is an 8.5" wheel, currently running 255s but I know nittos run small...

you could step up to a 275 i believe

Looks like you have 20s from your sig, what size are you running? Any pics?

How long they last will help reveal how soft the compound is and therefore how well they perform.

For example if I can get 10K miles out of a set of NT555DRs, but if these last only 8K miles (hypothetically) on a similar car and driving pattern, then maybe this is a softer tire with better traction and may be a better tire for a twin screw guy like me. I didn't say I was trying to get high mileage out of them like some damn Prius.

Or I could ask. "How soft is the rubber compound?"
"Oh, it's pretty soft." Great, thanks, that tells me a lot. Or, "can you spin the tires in third gear?" Yeah, my 90 hp Toyota I drove in high school could spin the tires in third gear.

At least mileage is a measurable quantity.

sold, that will be my next pair... haha

 

[Pike2244]

So the compound on the NT05's is softer than the 555dr's???

I would doubt that.

 

[Pike2244]

Then I'm not sure why the DR's would last longer then the NT05's??? Just confused...
