You many also want to ask if these previous posters had any other tire before the factory's when they put on the bfg's? anything is better then to oem bridgestone IMO, The bfg tread pattern is fugly? looks like 4x4 tread,lol. but it's been stated many times they are good tires, My suggestion is if your getting a good deal on them, grab them.

Mine came stock with RE050a. I liked them better for traction vs. the KDW2 I have on the car now. However, I've already put as many miles on the KDWs as I had on the orig. tires and have a LOT left... so it's a trade off.
I'm very pleased with the wet traction the KDWs seem to have. That specific characteristic may be as good or better than the RE050s.
They ARE louder IMO.

They don't seem that loud to me, maybe my exhaust covers most of the noise. Like others have said, these are the best bang for buck tire. Good overall performance w/ great tread wear rating.

I've got 24K out of the OEM sizes. Just got a new set in 245-275/35/19, still loud as f'. and yes, my car is dead on w/ alignment. But, they absolutely rock in wet.... deep water, no problem. Here I am leaving for work *today* with 2" of snow on the road (even tho my driveway is clear, frame grab from security cam)
I've simply never been on UHP tires that were this sticky under 50F. Yes, I know I'm a retard for going out with them on, but they didnt let me down. Neither did my last set, they got me home in a wintery mix as well. Although I do not suggest anyone actually try it. I felt like a idiot for not putting all seasons on a few days before.
Made this when I got kdw2s in stock sizes (18). This was before they revised the KDW2 (I'm told). Honestly, my newest set is droning less, but since my tires are much wider, I think it might be a tad louder. I was expecting worse.
