Noise issue with BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2 (NT)??

[Str8Kr4zy]

I was needing new tires and was thinking of purchasing these, but it seems that the reviews i've been reading, the owners have been complaining of noise issues. I wanted to know what you guys that own a set think of them.


Thanks guys

I have them 265 & 295 on 18" wheels, and yes they are noisy, but I just turn my radio up, and most tires this size are going to be noisy. Well, Id assume any tire that is a ultra high performance summer tire will be noisy. But I like them, they grip really well.

Mine weren't very noisy until after 5k miles. Now I can hear them, but my car is loud anyway so I don't really notice it that much.

Mine were audible (265/35/18 on all 4 corners), but weren't very loud. I usually had my radio up, so that may explain that

They grip good enough to compensate for the road noise tho, so don't let any noise scare you away.

Minimal noise issues, grips like crazy, rides much better than stock and has a higher wear rating than stock.

Also pretty expensive...

KDW's are awesome for the money... i dont think i will ever buy another tire... honestly i havent heard any noise at all over my exhaust and radio...

but i sure picked up some points in the grip department thats fer damn sure

Not sure if this is worth a hill of beans, but this info is provided by an online tire sales place. It may help in your decision
