255/35/19 fronts and as you can see already yeah 285/35/19 rear. I could of "saved" money if I ordered online from tirerack, cause you don't have to pay tax on there (I don't at least I believe). But I just got DT to price matched it. It was like $930, but that's also the price of transferring my tpms from stock wheels and tpms build kit, mount, and balance. They're 770$ shipped or so on tirerack.

not bad...those are the exact sizes I want also. My new wheels won't be TPMS compatible but I want to somehow put a TPMS on there. I've read of a few ways to do that so I'll need to talk to the shop and see if they can do it before getting my tires

Calin, they can strap the tpms on the wheel for you even if the wheel is not tpms capability. Get Zwole, I just came from KDW 2's also...so I know exactly what you are talking about. Hated those tires.

Why strap them when they sell adapters for TPMS now.

The KDW2s look f-ing amazing. I was debating on getting these again but I want to try the Nitto Invo. Heard good things about them.

I definitely would not get the KDW2's if you care about noise. I had them on my stock wheel and FK they are just TOOOOO noisy. Glad I finally changed them out. They did perform fairly well in dry traction though once htey are warmed up a bit.

You are right about the noise. Though these are brand new, I do hear a fair bit more noise from the road now. However, it does not really bother me much cause the exhaust is pretty loud anyway and drowns most of it out. Im very surprised at this tire's performance in wet conditions! It was raining pretty hard yesterday and I had lots of confidence with these. They also feel like they grip very well on corners as well.

fugg yeah dude **** those tires. I hope i hit a **** ton of nails so i can justify spending money on new tires. I hate these things with a passion. The first 3 or 4 thousand miles are great and they look sick, but after that enjoy the headaches just from driving with the super swampers on the car.
