Who has run these and how did you like them, I just bought a set and read some reviews about them being really loud... I'm thinking it wont matter to me because of the exhaust note. Anyone have any input??
BF Goodrich kdw 2's????

hmm well ive got the KDWS g-force. I know theyre not the same as yours but mine do make some amount of road noise. But yeah the exhaust blocks it out. And i dont know if its just me or the tires, but it seems like the car is really affected by grooves in the road, itll just follow any groove that comes along. kinda annoying.

my KDWS's do the same thing. I've heard some people after a while teh tires are prone to go out of round and you have to several balance sessions. overall, I like mine.

I had some KDW 245s and they were pretty good. Traction was good, but they did follow grooves fairly often in the road. The only negative is that the tires wore fairly unevenly. Mine wore real bad up front on the insides to the point that I could see the belt. The outsides had some wear left, even though my alignment was never that bad.
Rain driving was great on the KDW and was much safer than any tire I've used before, especially the stock Goodyears and Summitomos.
Now I get my alignment done every 6K miles. Minor adjustments are needed, but now my tire wear is dead even across each tire (Kumho's).

Well I just bought a set of these, and so far the only complaint I have read is the sound DB's. I got 2 295 35 zr18 for the back and 245 40 zr 18's for the front. soo we'll see. The tires I have right now are still pretty good, so i'm stockpiling these for a while.

When I pull the car out my plan is to put 265/35/18 and 295/35/18 on with BF Goodrich TA KDW rubber. I read many reviews from all over the internet and these seemed to be the best for the buck. I never read anything about problems with road noise, but if you have a decent exhaust I wouldn't worry about it. As far as following grooves, I'm also fairly certain that's from running a nice wide tire up front. Keep your alignment in check and it should be more than bearable.
