Default not really but i can tell you that the KD's are extremelly excellent tires for the track.

KDW i would say excellent for the street.

Default great tire, not sure about the sidewall due to me bending three rims....

but then again they are ssr's......good grip, maybe be alittle loud at times, but cool pattern and pretty cheap from tire rack

Default i have them right now.. pretty good tires.. the only down side is the noise they make

they are just a bit louder than other tires..not bad at all though. i also think they are heavier than other tires (but that is bc they have a lot of meat and will last).

Default Just put them on Tuesday, drove about two days with them so far, thoughts inside...

If you are at all concerned about noise, I would go a different route. Other than that I really like them so far. The noise doesn't bother me, if your car starts making funny noises, just turn the stereo up, it fixes the problem. Other than that I think they grip really well, I took it out last night to test them out a little and was very happy with them. Decent price too. I am excited to try them in the rain.

P.S. Just saw the post where you said you ordered them already, but considering I hardly ever post and I already wrote this, it is still going up.
