Default BF goodrich gforce kdw
I hear that the KDW tires run kind of wide. Just wondering if i should get the same stock size tires for my ap2 rims. Should i still get 245/40/17 in the rears? thanks for the help.

BF Goodrich does not list the tread width of the tires. More often than not the original Bridgestone tires are quite a bit wider than other 245/40R17 tires. I would say you would be better with a 255/40R17.
If I can help let me know.

Rain: KDW2
Shine: RT615
Treadlife: KDW2
DD/Auto-X/Canyons: RT615
Softer Ride:KDW2

The KDW2's are some loud ass tires though.
