Should have gotten the NT (New tread) design, much cooler looking. Regardless I am sure you will like the ones you got.

I think the KDWS is only available in that tread pattern.
The kdw is available in both. I only wish they had that new tread pattern available in a 27" tire. I would own it then.

Looks great. I like the slightly buldging sidewall when putting 255's on the stock bullitts. Some may not, but I like it. They look more like drag radials. I guess I'm just of the old school mentality... more rubber, less wheel.

27" rim or tire? I have 285/40R18 and 255/45R18 on mine and they are 27" tall tires. Not sure if they have them that size in 17" rim

KDW start in 16" rim sizes. Over a dozen sizes available for the 17" rim.

27" tire but I should have specified that I want to keep my stock 17" wheels.

Great looking shoes for your pony Robyn. I too am old school and prefer the retro look for tires. Why not go retro all the way? Kudos to you.

I think it looks great! I just wish there were more tire choices that came in this size, because I really like the pirelli nero better that the bfg kdws. Great looking car!

Can you give a a brief review of your tires, and how many miles on them now...I am pulling my hair out trying to decide which one's to get. i'm staying with the stock rim and I was originally goin with the KDWS, but did not really like the reviews .............Thanks
