BFG KDW's and tire wear

Hozer 88GTConv · 02-12-2004, 10:13 AM

I love the KDW feel, but damn, I wore out the corners of them in less than 18 months. I guess taking on-ramps at 80 has its price.
Just ordered two more from TireRack. Joy. $350.
I know, I know you gotta rotate, but this kinda snuck up on me. I have 1/4" to 3/8" of tread left on them, except at the outside lip were it's baby-butt smooth.
I figure I got about 15-16k miles on them, the backs are great.

Go ahead and run a little more camber. Also check the tire pressure occasionally to see if a variation might help corner roll. For the best advice check in the corner carvers forum.

I like doing those ramps at light speed too!!!
