Default BF Goodrich g-Force KDW

I've looked around but havent seen anyone post a review on these. They are rated good at tirerack.com, but I would like to hear a real testimony from a Z owner. I'm particularly worried about the noise compared to the OEM potenzas.

Thanks.

I have 19" kdw, the noise is worse than OEM, but music fix that problem. If noise is your main concern, I wouldn't recomend them. However I have 19" rims, so it may be different with OEM 17", or 18". Performance wise, these are the best tires I ever use, beside g-Force KD. Handling on wet condition is amazing. Dry, it also amazing, a lot better than OEM. It does chirp, when flooring it shifting from 1st to 2nd, but when it get warmed up, no chirp, unlike Oem, I start to fishtail. I highly recomend these tires, they are exspensive, espicially for 19" and you will have trouble finding them for 19" sizes. I think they are better than Toyo T1-S.

Yeah, i have stock 18". I'm not all that worried about the noise, I just don't want it to be annoying or be too loud to carry on a conv. with a passenger.

I just put some Kumho's on my Z, and was worried that the noise might not be any better then the stock tires. I was pleased that they are actually quieter then stock. They may not compare to the bfg's...but the price is appealing.
