every other comment about them on tirerack said they were loud..I haven't heard a peep, they are very sticky on dry roads much better that the GSD3's I had prior, most I could pull with GY's on the street was 1.01-1.07...wuth the bfg's I got 1.16 w/out really trying...they ride smoother as well...and so far seem to be wearing well (same milieage with the GY's and I could tell they were wearing)...as for wet weather were only starting to come up on summer weather so I dont really know, only been through 1 really bad rainstorm with em and they felt very stable...it's not a runflat or a michelin...but they were only 160$ a tire from tire rack...oh and I went with 255/40/18's this time around too....so anybody looking for new tires, you might wanna consider these.

I had KDW II's in 275/35/19 on my Z. Very quiet until they were nearing the end of their life. That's when they got really loud. Not nearly as loud as my PS2's though.

^^ I thought the ps2's were the 'perfect' tire??? didn't think they got loud or anything.

My KDW's seemed to be wearing well. If I hadn't sold the Z I probably would have had a year and a half total of aggresive usage out of them. So apx 15-20k.

I'm telling you, my PS2's got REALLY loud when they were dying. It actually made the car tough to sell convicing people that it was the tires making the noise.

NO!! They have 10k on them. I'm still using them. I assume I'll get another 10k out of them.

^^ thank god, I cant afford to put tires on this damn thing every 10k so thats a sigh of relief...do you drive pretty aggressively? Mine usually only see sharp corners on the weekends, even then I'm pretty easy on her...mainly highway miles...thats why I was so shocked when I only got 10k out of my goodyears...either way it's a good sign..I loved my KDWS tires I had on my camaro...so It's good to know these are gonna work out well too...thanks for the replies.
