Looking at getting new tires this week. Ive narrowed it down to BFG KDW2, Continental ExtremeContact DW, and Firehawk wideoval indy 500's. I wan the KDWs but am worried about the road noise. Is it really that bad. I have longtubes and gmmg, would I hear it over my exhaust? My second choice would be the continentals. Reviews look really good. Just wondering if anyone nows how wide they run. Then there are the firestones. they are the cheapest and have read good things about them.

Just looking for a good tire to daily drive and that looks good on stock wheels. I want to make sure Im not getting into a tire that runs on the narrow side. I really cant stand that look.

A co-worker has the continentals on his '05 GTO and they seem a little narrow but they look good and he says they're great in rain and okay for traction, BFG seems to always be wider side but I have not seen the KDW2's, I have the G-force sports and Drag radials and they bulge out more than other tires that are the same size, with LTs and GMMG I don't think you'll hear tire noise unless you have windows up and no radio on and are cruising at ~1500 RPM lol

I dont think Ill hear the road noise either but some responses ive read they have sold thier tires because it was SO bad. I wonder if they are over exaggerated or have a really low tollerance.

you're not going to hear the road noise over the exhaust, I have the same exhaust and it doesn't bother me

I had KDW2s and I can hear the road noise over my exhaust especially when you're cruising on the highway.

If your worried about road noise with longtube headers & a full back exhaust you have issues..lol. I vote bfg cause they hooked the best for me and lasted a long time. I could drive on stone tires and I wouldn't hear it over my exhaust though...so yea

I have the KDW2's and I think they are a great tire. I don't think the road noise it too bad either. I only have a LM1 catback. I think the road noise on my wife's 06 Honda Accord is much worse.
