Cool news from BFGoodrich!

I was speaking to my BFGoodrich sponsor this morning and he informed me of some really cool new products coming this spring! The G-Force KDW is being replaced with a BFG version of the Michelin Super Sport! It will be 15% lower in price that the current KDW and will be far longer lasting and stickier the the current KDW street/track tire.

For the AutoX and Time Attack racers they are releasing a new G-Force R1S that is a much softer comppound that the road race R1 and heats up incredibly quickly!

We will be running both these tires on selected vehicles this summer!

I need a set of something like the KDW's for driving to the track and rain tires for the track as well as race tires for the track

How much and where is a good place to get these?

i have been using the KDWs this season and I love them, pretty grippy for a 300 treadwear tire. There the tread pattern is amazing in the wet. My rears have moderate wear for the amount of track time they have seen....the fronts may have suffered d/t different toe/camber adjustments but still have good tread left lol
