I know your going to think this is stupid but I like the KDW for a couple reasons, one is the treadwear # is higher and heres the clincher for me....smooth sidewall, none of those little ugly ribs on the sidewall that all new tires seem to have. Personally this matters to me and as far as road noise goes, I didn't notice my OEM KDW being loud, plus like I could hear it over my exhaust :p j/k about the exhaust, its not that loud, trust me cool
