T1-R or BFG KDW-2
anyone have experience w/ either of these? I'm about to buy new tires for the GTO and have narrowed it down to these. They are priced the same @ about $160 each.
There's 13K in damage...and no, not fixed yet

good thing is, I don't have to look at it 
(while it's in the shop atleast).
but, it's just a car, and easily fixable, had it been my '55 i'd be pissed though

how long ago did you have the BFG's? I keep reading the new gen's are much quieter (not sure I believe it)
I'm leaning toward T1-r's though

Oh I had them on the Iforged, so maybe a year ago?
I might even have them on the BBS, i forget
Only reason i went with them over the T1-R is that i like buying from Discount Tire since they close and offer that lifetime warranty thing. Comes in handle when having low profile tires.

I checked, I do have the KDWs on the BBS wheels. If thats the case then they are still loud when they wear down. Sticky tires otherwise though, they great for the price.
Would still go with the T1-R if you can.

Another vote for the T1-R. I'm getting a staggered set of CCWs for my GTO this coming summer (8"/10") and I'll be running T1-Rs up front and either 275 BFG DRs or T1-Rs out back (after fender rolling of course).
