Default Poking around Tirerack I noticed Goodyear KDW has Viper fitment now.

Anyone running these? Can you compare them to your old Pilots or anything else?

I saw these a couple months ago, and asked around here, but no one seemed to have used them yet. I'm tempted to get them. You first.

where? The biggest size I saw that might fit is the 295/35/18, nothing 335+. It is a great tire but they would be mismatched F&R... unless i'm blind and missing the big sizes.

The tires are actually pretty nice as a front set. A local guy here had them and they seemed to stick pretty good. aggressive tread pattern to say the least. They looked mean on the car.

These were the front tires w/ DR's on the rear...

I got my gts with DR's in the rear and pilots up front. Will I feel a huge difference in regular street driving if I use non-DR's in the rear? I'm thining of trying the BFG's.

Good street tires, but not as good as Michelin.
Pirelli tires are better.

I'm running those up front with DRs in the rear.

I don't know about traction with the KDWs though...my friend with a Z06 and a 125 shot just bounces off the rev limiter in 2nd and 3rd with the KDW-2s.
