DirtyDirtyHouse Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hey all. Need new tires ASAP. Live in FL. Heavy rain. I've owned Goodyear F1's "amazing"! wear quickly cost an arm and a leg or two. Currently have General UHP's. Amazing in the wet. super cheap, really soft side wall and had some uneven wear issues. (not due to alignment or balancing). A buddy has the BF Goodrich g-Force KDW's and swears by them especially in the rain. His only complaint is the road noise. I'm rockin hogzaust :lol:with free up and down and typhoon intake... so i'm already noisy. Makes me smile. Does anyone have these on their ride?? Do you like them??

Mark34 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I have them. They're good in the rain and exceptional on dry but they are noisey, notably at highway speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krzyss Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I find my V12 Evo quiet but firm. Not noisy at all. May depend on road surface ;-) Krzys PS Per tire tests that I checked (CR, C&D) nothing is more noisy than KDW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsunami Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 My friend has KDW's on his 5.0 mustang and actually avoids driving in the rain. However the tread design is very cool. I've read lots of good things about the Hankook's too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CwhillVT Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I have them(215/45/17) on my LGT. They are great. They are somewhat loud but you get used to it. They are great in the wet and even better in the dry. I had them on the track 3 days so far with track pads (DTC70/60) and they exceeded my expectations. Highly recommened, also the treadwear seems quite good so far, I'll probly get 40k miles on out of them and thats with 3 pretty hard track days and spirited daily driving included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark34 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Try putting your stockers back on and take it for a ride. Should be noticeable road noise, but it's to be expected with that aggressive tread design. This is the second car I've had them on. Had them on a Nissan Sentra Spec-V that had Toyo Proxes 4 on, they sucked in the rain, mostly trying to get a start on wet hills and replaced them with KDWs and had no issues on the same hill in the same conditions. They are very good in the rain. But forget about it in light snow. On the LGT I had Nitto Neo-Gens before replacing with these and I wouldn't go back to another set of Neo-Gens over these.

Vwown3d Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 yup, a little noisy. nothing an exhaust can't drown out. I have 235/35/19's and they are great so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 You should buy the g-force Sports. I've had KDW's and g-force sports......on the same car in fact. The KDW had a slight edge in dry but overall the g-force was a better all around tire, very quiet also and wear better (longer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooklyngenius Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I ran the KDW2 Gforces for 2 years. awesome tires very soft and grippy. just hated replacing tires every year. oh well you pay to play. useless signature line where i cant mention my sponsors "First Bagged BL5!"
