I have kdw2 love em. It will be better than run flats for sure if your comparing ride quality! Good traction when I was stock.

I have the Goodyear GSD3 on my SS and like everything about them. I have never had a better tire in the rain and I think they look great.

As for noise and smoothness they are much better than the stock Goodyears.

I have had the GSD3s and KDW IIs. They are both great tires and would buy either one again. Both were smooth but I have heard the KDWs get a little noisy after they get worn.
