Default goodyear eagle f1-gsd3's or bfg kdw2's i can't decide please help..

Hello, i must buy new tires for my new rims im getting 275/35/18's i'm having a real tough time deciding between these 2 tires. the gsd3s look wide for a 275 and im afraid the bfg's wont look as wide. people complain about the noise from the kdw2's. but people also complain about having balancing issues with the gsd3's im up in the air. this is alot of money to spend and i want to do it right the first time. any input will be appreciated. thanks

there is a thread about this recently. I have the GS-D3s and I love them. They are wide for what they are listed as. I have no complaints at all except when it starts to get cold, the tires react very different when it is about 15*-20* out.

yup 295s are in the box, they are gigantic! I was very concerned wrapping them around an 11" wheel, but I now have 0 regrets

I'd say they are equal to or greater than some 315s
