how long did your bfg kdw2 last?
hi i just got my kdw2 and i have a 30 day grace period where i can return the tires. they tires are driving me crazy... they grip awesome. the only problem is i keep hearing the thread life is really short and the noise after a few k is unbearable. is this true? let me know about ur experiences.

bought to go buy my next set. (285/35/19) 30k on these could have gotten more if I had more proper camber.
debated getting a different tire due to sound only. it's so loud on the highway!!!
but can't complain bout grip even in the rain, so I guess i'll buy them again.

As others have said, great grip but the roaring at highway speeds is unbearable imho. When mine wore out I was glad to be rid of them. Additionally, the bead didn't seat well with my set of KDW's and the first few days I had to keep adding air till I got some miles on them and they sealed up. The roaring sound at highway speeds was the killer for me. My Z isnt daily driven but the few times a month a drove the car to work all I could think about was the sound of the tires lol

I liked them at first, but the more miles I put on them, the more I wanted to change to something else. They were grippy when they got warmed up, at cooler temps not so much. So, not my favorite street tire, but they were good for spirited driving.
Noise was crazy as wear increased.
I think I got about 30k miles on them without ever flipping, negative camber wore out the inner edge faster than the outer, as expected. Probably could've gotten at least 10k more if I had flipped tires & swapped right for left.

ya so I had my 452's on stocks on for the weekend and I have to say im now seriously reconsidering not buying that bfg again.
I no they're way smaller than the tires on my 19s but they make almost no sound at all. compared to my bfgs there towards the end I felt like I was yelling at my passengers on the highway. hmmmm
