I am limited as to what tires I can buy due to size. These tires replaced my ancient BFG KD ( not KDws) and They feel a little less secure in handling, but considering what I have to choose from, they are great.

What drivers say about their 315/35 R17 tyres
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
Good launch traction, handling is very stable up to 150 MPH (that's as high as I've tried). They look awesome on the Cobra.
Ride is rough but it is a Z-rated UHP tire, so that is typical.
My only complaint is that it follows truck grooves in the highway pavement pretty badly. You can feel them pull sideways while driving on a well traveled road.
Overall, they were a spectacular bang for the buck.
