I felt the same way Zwole. It's not that bad now with the Kumho's, I hardly notice it's there compare to the kdw2s.

^^ good well not good lol. Im just glad im not the only one that took it this hard. I dont find myself to be a perfectionist by any means but damn when the car gives you a headache "with stock exhaust" thats pretty bad.

Haha I have the same tires and have the same complaints. Everyone that gets in my Z asks why my car is soo loud. I hate it so much I have to turn the radio on to keep my sanity. Damn tires, I am also shopping for some quieter tires. Kdw2's are for only the hardcore. I got them because other members said the noise wasn't that bad. They are awesome performance tires but the noise does not make it enjoyable to drive the Z.

BTW do a search for Nitto Invo's. I heard they are notorious for hydroplaning and are very bad in wet conditions.

thanks for the info. Are those expensive? Where can I buy them and get them installed?

Don't think i read anything about a bad wet weather review yet on here. I know mine rocked in the rain, very, very stable, even when up on plane.

I'm glad you retracted your statement. The Nitto INVO's design actually prevents you from hydro-planing with those wider than normal channels.
