I have KDW's on my 17's. I love them best tires I've ever had.

Re: this puppy has new shoes

I'd like to try the KDW's, but most of the reviews I've read say they're incredibly loud. Dunlop Z1 Star Spec's are on my short list for the next set of summer rubber.

loud? compared to what? where?
inside the car they're quieter than the winter tires.
don't know how they sound when i'm passing some sloazz fool
i've had such gr8 experiences w/ the bfg's i've run on my trucks.
i figured i'd try'em and am very happy so far.
we'll see how they wear.

You have to remember that the not alot of outside noise gets into the SVX. I get more noise from the supercharger, intake and exhaust then the tires.
