dammit, 18" rubber
Freakin BFG KDW's i wanted for my murano rims are on nationwide backorder.
Guess i'll be rollin' 18's next yr. Still gonna get some 16" Hankook studless sno tires for stock rims. cuz these proxes just ain't gonna cut it in a few months.

Re: dammit, 18" rubber
I've read the KDWs didn't test well and are real loud. I like the Dunlop Z1 Star Spec's the best on wet streets, tested better than the Neova's and RE01R, but are only $117 at tires.com

Good grip and wear. Since the svx's are freakin heavy rides, well........ guess i'll do some research on something else just in case.

Re: dammit, 18" rubber
Could check out Nexen's. Best wet traction I've had was the N3000's I had on my 17's. N2000's are freak'n sweet too and not too bad a cost for 18" sizes. I"m thinking of getting those for my Tarmac 3's and put my Proxes4's back on my old 18's for the time being when that is road worth after it's swap. But yeah def check out Nexen's.

Re: dammit, 18" rubber
There are 2 different KDW tread patterns. Theres the standard KDW and the newer KDW2. I cant tell you anything about the standard KDW, but I have the KDW2's on mine and they are great. Both in wet and dry.
