I was looking at these largely because of the tread block (and the fact that they seem to be decent, especially water) - any one run these; i want to know how bad the road noise is....

thanks.

 

I had 2 of them on my front tires for a while. Good tires, plenty sticky, but they are definitely noisy. My car is pretty loud to begin with so it's hard to notice much or care, but they're definitely not whisper quiet.

 

I second that, had a set for a few months. Great grip in dry, good enough in wet, but they are noisy.

 

I have the regular KDWs. They are not noisy and offer great grip, but i haven't ran more than a few thousand miles on them yet.

 

I have run them and use them for street ant wet auto-x

I am REALLY impressed.
I have used on the street, tracked and auto-x ed all round good tire
They arn't race r comp tires or even low utg rated (I think 280 or 300)
they do wear well. stick well and predictable ... a bit green with some heat on the track ... but always consistant

They are noisy... but I come from 4 wheeling so nothing is loud to me and my exhaust is loud.

That isnt a loud noise ...that is MUSIC.,,turn the radio off and enjoy it

 

+1

I also run them. I found that they are noisy when cold. Once warmed up not so bad - just great durability, grip and predictability.
