Tires for Rally-X?

The BFG KDWS has apparently been discontinued.

That's a bit of a tragedy, as it was an awesome tire for playing in the dirt.

A lot of folk who do rally-X used to use this tire, and I'm wondering what they use now that offers:

* Good toothy tread with aggressive corner blocks for turn-in on loose surfaces.
* stiff sidewalls
* relatively decent grip and not TOO squirmy on tarmac


Thanks,
M


(PS: I had this in the tire-subforum, but I got no responses in a week... so I thought I'd try it here.)

From: that'd be in the dirt, pretty boy
The KDWS' have been "discontinued" in the past but end up showing up again year later. I've been through about 3 or 4 sets of them.

I'm considering giving the BFG Traction T/As a try. They have "g-Wedge" sidewalls which aren't as beefy as the "g-Force" sidewalls in the KDWS (from what BFG has hold me), but it should still be better than nothing. The spacing between the shoulder blocks is a bit wider on the T/As vs the KDWS as well.
