These are LOUD tires!

They were really cool back in the day and some people still like them, but they are an older design and are quite outdated IMO. The tread pattern is badass, though.

The tread pattern is what grabbed me! Thanks for the insight, I think I will just go with the Re11's and be done with it. Thanks again.

Can't go wrong with Re-11s! They are way better than the KDWs.

sears is probably just trying to sell off old stock. those tires were originally out like 2003-2004 timing. too old of a design, not asymetrical with reinforced belts on the inner tread = wears fast. those belong on cars like teg-R's and civic-si's imho.

i bought these. As far as the loudness factor its around the same as the stock tires. As far as performace im not impressed at all. The stockers performed better than the KDW's. Def go with the RE-11's or something else.

I think the wear is actually pretty good if thats what ur looking for. The wear ratting is like a 320 or something. Im by no means a nice driver lol. I went through the stock rears at about 13k. im at 25K and still have about half tread. maybe a little less. the fronts still look brand new.
