wow... looking good bud...

i knew it was a wide wheel to get a 255 to stretch like that...

how would you compare them to falken452's?

on stretch
comfort
road noise

i am only assuming that your familiar with the falkens... if not...

how do you like the ride quality on the bfgoodrich anyway?

alot of road noise?
are they comfortable?

HELL YEAH! My old tires. Traction like CRAZY. BEEFY tread too. I ran over a keychain bottle opener and pulled it out with NO leaks ever. I had 265/30's and they weren't loud at all. I dunno tire noise has never bothered me. The Nitto NT420's on my truck were howlers though. Those tires pissed me off.

Don't know how well they work in a stretched setup, but I loved em when I ran them on the SC... 275/30-19 rear, 255/35-18 front... they plain hooked... loud - I didn't think so, but then again, I'm pretty numb to loud tires - I know that I have definitely driven vehicles with louder tires, so, these are probably right in the middle of the road... I'd probably go back to them if I didn't get such a good deal on the Bridgestone RE050's... I actually think the RE050 is a better tire, but it also averages about $100 more per tire retail than the KDW's do...
