View Full Version : OEM Tire size Vs KDW2
There are many posts of members buying KDW2 tires from Tire Rack recently.
I just got off the phone with Jake at Tire Rack and he knows of no such tire in the OEM size. Am I reading our members posts wrong, are you guys buying 245/55/Z(W)R18's or another size?
My local BF Goodrich dealer also can't find any reference to KDW2 in OEM sizes.
The KDWS style is back ordered till next month.
Am I barking up the wrong tree with OEM Size KDW2?

:cool: Pat..I believe your contact is correct. The KDW2's are available in OEM size for the front tires, but not for the rear. I think everyone is going with the 255/55/18's for the rear. This is the combination I am looking at for myself.

Are the KDWS back in supply yet (for the rear)? Yes. Just put a set on last week. America's Tire had to order the rears in from a warehouse in Texas, but it
appears the pipline is refilling...

Thanks for the info. For my type of driving, I like the KDWS vice the KDW (NT) (AKA KDW2).

Lord Vader is correct. That is the size combo I purchased from Tire Rack. No problems with traction control if those are the sizes you use.
