Comments about g-Force T/A KDWS:

I am a super commuter driving a 2008 Ford Mustang approximately 150 miles per day round trip to work and back. As of this comment I have over 85,000 miles on this set of 235/50ZR18 97W g-Froce T/A KDWS tires that came with the car when bought new. I still have approximately 5,000 miles left in the set before they require replacement. Well done BF Goodrich!

Comments about g-Force T/A KDWS:

Came as OE on my 09 Mustang GT anniversary series. Low pressure light came on a couple of times, filled up with air and went about my business. I now have 14,000 miles on the car and have to replace all 4 tires. All have a separated ply and are weather cracked between the tread pattern. Maybe I was one of the unlucky ones that got a set built on Friday, but really disappointed in the tire. The replacement set will not be BF Goodrich!

Comments about g-Force T/A KDWS:

These tires were OE on my '09 GT Premium Convertible. I thought they were ok. When they wore out at 35,000 miles, I figured I'd try something else. Went with Goodyear Eagle GT. What a mistake. Eagle is hard, noisy, and uncomfortable. Wouldn't ever stay in balance either. The KDWS, in retrospect were as comfortable as a good touring tire, and handled as well as a good performance tire. Road Feel, cornering, wet and dry traction, all very good. Anyway, I did so much complaining that the tire shop got me a refund from Goodyear, which was cool of them. On Monday, I am replacing them with good ol' BFG KDWS... Don't make my mistake! Stick with the BFG's!

OE Code [Original Equipment Key]: F= Ford, GM = General Motors, T=Toyota

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.

>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.

>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.

DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.

DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.

Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.

For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.

W-Speed Rated Sizes:

Maximum Speed (mph) 118 124 130 136 143 149 155 161 168

Inflation Increase (psi) 0 1.5 3.0 4.5 6.0 7.5 7.5 7.5 7.5

Load Capacity (% of max) 100 100 100 100 100 100 95 90 85
