    i have 245/40/18 BFG KDWII's on my STi, putting down close to 400whp. Traction I would give a solid 9 for a street tire. They still do very god in the wet, braking is on point, and obviously with AWD acceleration isn't too much of an issue. I couldn't be happier with them. The only tire I would go to after these is a Toyo R-888, but thats nothing but a DOT semi-slick, with little to no wet traction.
    Who knows?

    ive got nt05's they hook good for a street tire, and corner well. Id give traction an 8 for a street tire they are great but i dont see them lasting long. Im at 457hp.

    Awesome tire in the rain and so far has been hooking just as good as my BFG G-force KD's I had before. I'd give it about a 9 of course I'm not making 457 hp either though
