Default FOR SALE - BFG KDWs

I have a set of KDWs I just removed from my 2002 ZO6. They are in EXCELLENT condition and have less than 15,000 miles on them. I was running a narrower front tire on my car and wanted to change them to the stock ZO6 sizes up front and went ahead and replaced all four of them. Here are several pictures.

Looking for $250 plus shipping on front tires! Local pick-up would be preferred. Excellent wet and dry tire.

Rear tires have sold.



One of the rears had a short sliver of metal in it that I removed. It did not go through and required no attention. Did not and will not affect drive or tire life.











Here is the spot in the rear tire that I removed the small sliver of metal.






Thanks for looking.

Micah

Thanks, I believe the code is LT11; I believe late 2011. I had them installed on my car in November 2011, so that would make sense. Condition of the tire is great, no cracking or other issues besides what I mentioned and photographed above.

I'd consider that. Looking at about $250/shipped for the fronts.

I will let you know what I think. Probably post over in the ZO6 Discussion section.

I went with the stock sizes and they look good on the wheel. The thread pattern is very nice and I am looking forward to getting them broken in. I am waiting for my ABS module to get repaired, so I can reinstall and drive!!!

So with stock sizes do u think they run big or are normal? I know other brand tires run bigger and smaller than others so I was curious of the bridgestones. I run 275/40 in the front and 295/35 in the rear but when and if I buy the 760's I may go with a 265 and 305 if they have that size

All my research has shown that these are the only tires (outside of the F1 Supercars) that are the same as the OEM tire sizes.

when I priced them they are actually a good price. Decent treadwear as well. I think they will be a great street tire. Prob a little to hard for a serious track tire but its cool that you can rotate left to right also.

Agree on all counts! I will be taking the care up to the Tail of the Dragon soon, so I will be able to compare both tires (KDWs vs RE760s), the KDWs were pretty decent in the hills.
