I hope the sound level doesn't increase as they wear persists as y'all have alluded to... I'm glad you like them, they are a great tire. But the tire does get louder the more they wear. By the time they are about 1/2 gone they are really loud. The funny thing is though you won't notice it until you can hardly have a conversation in the car. It kinda sneaks up on you since you hear it every day. Trust me though, you won't regret getting them. If you think they stick good now just wait til you get them to about 3/32's HOLY (insert stars here) those things grab then!!!!

I detailed a CSVT with the OEM BFG KDW's and they had 31K on them, just goes to show you they'll last if take care of them  I'm leaning toward them myself when I get my new rims in July, unless someone can find me the FSVT rims, those have the Coninentals and are supposed to be really good!

I have the same feeling about Goodyears but just out of curiosity why don't you like Goodrich? I've done mountain roads with no guardrails on the Kdw's pulling G's Goodyears would die for and I'm still writing.

what do u guys mean by tires being loud or noisy. my kdw's have about 22,000 miles (still the originals). the new parada 2's have a 300 treadwear, same as kdw's. The Parada 2 does have a good treadwear rating but it isn't accurate to compare a treadwear rating between two manufacturers. Those numbers are based on that manufacturers other tire models. Also, the Parada doesn't come in many sizes...the ones it does come in aren't very 'wheel friendly'. 205/45s and 215/40's...way to low profile for a decent ride and the safety of your wheels. IMO.
