I was coming home from getting my new tires on my KC 4x4 Titan (the BGF's KDW's) and was sitting at a stop light. It was still early on Saturday morning, about 6:30a or so. I was messing around with my radio and didn't even see the other truck pull up next to me.
The guy started yelling at me, and I just looked over and nodded. He was in a new body style chevy 2500 HD, non duramax. The light turned green, and all he saw was my tail lights. I pulled hard until about 70 and he was a good 3.5 to 4 trucks back.
I tried slowing down even more, but every time I did, so did he. He never did come window to window with me again.
You will fall in love with the KDW's I can't get them to break loose for **** even when coming off a highway offramp doing 70 that is rated for 35 it just grips the damn road soo hard it's truly amazing how bad *** these tires are..
Even from dead stop all I get is a soft 1 sec chirp then they lauch, they don't even leave a burnout spot or anything.. Last tires I had would burnout for 20-35feet before grabbing which was annoying as hell

Thats a nice kill. My truck eats those things as if they were gummy bears. "The NON-duramax ones guys!" I got like 3 threads of just burning 2500HDs. I guess they are that slow. Oh yeah, are those BFG's KDW's preformance street tires or off road tires. I'm think off road cuz u got a 4X4. But I'm sick of my Khumo's Escta's cuz I don't have traction until my Limted Slip kicks in. This makes matters worse cuz RPMs go down and so does the speed of the truck which also means, loss of distance, which can lead to a race that is lost. Let me know whats up.
My truck is the 4x4 off road, but I bought a set of the 18" gun metal rims and fitted them with the KDW's. They are probably the best street tires I have ever owned. My tru track will hopefully ship at the end of May, then I can really test these tires. But so far I wouldn't trade them for any other.
I know your trucks will smoke a 2500 6.0 liter just curious have any of you beat one with the 8.1 liter? My father-in-law has a 2500HD 4x4 GMC with the 8.1 and its got quite a bit of torque for a gas engine about 450 foot pounds not sure how much HP though. I really enjoy reading the "war stories" section here
My brother has a 2002 suburban 2500 with a 8.1, eats gas. I thought his truck was big, but when I bought my Titan its more manly and his suburban got small
