FYI on BFG KDW 2s
Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2008 12:58 am
From local tire venders and venders at carlisle I found that the reason the KDWs are so good is that they are actually made from michillen rubber.
I also found out that there is another smaller (cheaper) brand that has the same formula rubber as the kdws. The brand is called Riken and the tire is called the raptors.
So if you are up for tires as good as Michelins or KDWs but don't have the cash go with the Rikens!!!
prices with 21/40/17s at summit racing
Riken raptors $79 each
BFG KDWS near $140 each
