Hey, my 08 Bullitt has 62 k miles and will need some new tires in the next few months. I heard the original BFG KDWS are discontinued.

Looking at Michelin and the other BFG version, stock size.

Anyone have a good experience with some others?

Ive run every tire known to man and never the same tire twice in a row.
Summer tires is what i like not All season. A couple of tires you cant go
wrong with are the Yokahama S Drive or the Nitto 555.

You want summer only or all seasons? I just put a set of Yokohama YK580s on my '98 on Saturday. I wanted the Yokohama Advan S.4 but the ones in stock size were 2006 production, but then I came across the YK580s which are a brand new tire from Yoko that just came out a couple months ago. So far I love them, super quiet and stick really well to the pavement. Came in at $800 for the set mounted and balanced, and another $120 for a 4 wheel alignment at the Ford dealer. Should last a while with a 580 treadwear rating.

How do you use your car? If its a daily driver used in the rain the recommendations should be different than a nice weather weekend car. Do you want better tire life or more grip? How much do you want to spend? All would be useful information for us to recommend something.

^^What he said.
Don't run 555s if you drive in rain or cold roads. Get some Pirelli all season if you want quiet/quality.
Just my 2 cents.
