THanks,

I have never had them but...every thing I've read about them has said they were great and handled very well...if you don't mind the price tag.

The KD is your best bet if you want maximum traction, but I'd be careful with them if it gets really wet outside. Certainly don't use them in the snow.

thats cool but hoe do they handel in autocross. and drag?? Are they any good

I've driven a car with the KD, they're excellent tires. Very soft and sticky, but they won't last beyond 20,000 miles.

the kdw are nice I got some 205/40 on mine no real problem with them about 5000 miles on them and not to much wear yet good tire u can feel when they are about to give they almost tell u what they are about to do. but weather they are worth the price that is up to u only had these and the tires that came with the car so can't say much other than 30 around sharp corners

There are 3 breeds of g-Force K-series tires:

KD: Key element: Dry
KDW: Key element: Dry & Wet
KDWS: Key element: Dry & Wet & Snow

Basically, the KD is a super high-performance tire. The KDW sacrifices a bit of dry traction for better grip in the wet. The KDWS sacrifices even more dry traction for the ability to use it in the snow.
