I was about to get them, just a little too pricey, but from what i hear as well they should grip pretty well in dry conditions, and should hold up during wet as well.
Many people who are concerned about the road noise, shouldn't be using those tires anyway lol

A lot of people have them. They are awesome tires! well worth the $$$. make sure you have snow tires if you get them because they won't do **** in the winter...

BTW 128 is a damn good price for them...what size are you getting?

Consider the Yokahoma S-drives, same ratings but usually 20 bucks cheaper a tire

im getting the BFG G-force super sport all season. They have great ratings! and they are the bomb in the snow. You should see the tred on them! I couldnt believe how good people say they are in the snow. If you get the 235/40/18 they put an extra .5" of rubber on the ground per tire compared to stock. I cant wait

ive been thinking of staying with the stock size 205/50-17 but i was also debating on going to 18's havent decided the $128 each is for the 205/50-17

i read a couple of the reviews and the one said road noise was suprisingly low so i dont think they'll be bad.

I just put the Kumho MX on my 17's and the reviews all said they were very noisey..... well they were not lying!!! so if they say the KDW's are noisey, they probably are!

I figured I could live w/ the noise, but then again I did not expect them to be that loud! If I had to run these as a DD tire I'd go nuts....
probably going to get the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec for the 18's .... but they are stupid pricey @ $174 each, but w/ stellar ratings.... I'll buy 2 at a time
in perspective the Potenza RE-01R's are $222 ea.

and there is my $0.02

seems like the all seasons are the way to go if you get BF goodriches. They are the newest they have added to the family at BFG. I live in indy so we deal with all types of weather. The roads are coated with ice right now.

I have the kdw 2's and I love them. Not noisy at all and they grip very very well. Worth the money hands down.
