I see the problem!

BFGoodrich has dropped the original KDW design and the KDW-2 name, which leads to the current confusion. Use the KDW-2 info, which is better than the KDW info.

I did an exhaustive search on tires, tire tests, and personally drove several aftermarket tire equipped SSRs, and spoke to the (reluctant) techs at BFGoodrich before my purchase.

P.S. I know there are those who believe that RS-As are the only choice. Not only is that wrong, but after my experience, also a dangerous recommendation. RS-As are slippery and unpredictable in the wet, allowing the SSR to break traction and slide out of control. This has been documented repeatedly on this site (and others, too).

OK, off my soap box.
