the XGT Z4 is very old technology, I would stay away...
I love the KDW's on my car, and for someone looking for a performance tire for the street, they are one of the best, that still maintain wet weather traction...
the PZero, however, would be better suited for vehicles that get driven moreso in the wet, and potentially some snow...

I have heard that the BF Goodrich g-Force KDW is noisey. Do you know if it is really bad, or just a little bit?
Actually because of the noise problems, I am thinking of going with the following tire:
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S

I talked to the tire guy at costco and he said that the tread wear on the A/S is pretty good, and I should get around 10K more miles out of them as compared to the PS2

prior to the lexus, I drove a very high hp awd talon with solid motor mounts and a ~very~ stiff, touchy clutch - there was nothing quiet or smooth about that car...
the sport a/s is a great all around tire...

I went ahead and ordered the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S from costco. It looks like the michelin has a better treadwear rating, and should give me an extra 10K to 15k miles. The price difference between the KDW's and the Michelins was around $335. The guy at costco also said that he had has customers that had complained about the noise level with the KDW's

i just turn the stereo up, i could care less about road noise (well, so long as it's acceptable)
