Yeah, I have the KDWS in 225/55-16 on my 95 GT, and they are a lot better
than the Dunlop SP-5000 tires I replaced. So far I have about 20,000 miles
on them, and they look like they'll go another 20K. Like Gill said, they're
not bad in the rain, and I'll add that they're also not horrible in snow.
The Dunlops were bad in rain and really bad in snow.

For all-season high performance type tires, I'd go with the BFGs again in a
heartbeat.
