I f***ing hate the stock piece of crap tires on these cars . Had a blow out 3 months ago, replaced with same brand tire. Cruising down the road today the new tire with less than 5k miles on it decides it wants to tear a 4 inch slit on the side wall f***ing *****!!!

Arn't the stock tires Pirelli P-Zero Neros? I never ran the BFG KDW, but I have run the now extinct KDs and loved them, though not for drag use.

The 18" come with BFG KDWS not KDW ; there is a difference. KDWS are the all season tires and don't handle or stick as well as BDF KDW.

That sucks, I had that problem with the sumitumo's on my 95 and the 315-35 that blew out was only a week old along wiht the new rim driving down I-95. I had okay luck with stock bfgs as I got alittle over 40k miles out of them and would have been more if it didn't have a terrible alignment, but traction wasn't by any means great.

Yeah, that's the KDW2. Much different than the KDWS.

Maybe you just have bad luck?

I had a couple of set of the KDWS and they wear pretty good. A new set on the Grabber.

Why don't you tell us how you really feel.

I'd chalk it up to bad luck... that really sucks, there are a lot of stangs on the road with those BFGs problem free.
