lol so am I and that is why I drive an SVT vs a BMW etc. That is a real good price vs the $250+ CAN I shelled out for the KDW's. I am with you on the harsh ride of the KDW's, especially when they are more than 50% worn. I run em at 30 -32 psi and that makes them a little more civilized.
You're so right about the tire pressure. Now that my KDWs are down to about 2/16", I run them at 32 and it's tolerable, except when it's cold out. Also, the noise is much worse than when the tires were new. If I test drove a car this loud, I may not have ever bought it.
KDW = flintstone rock hard tires, and just as noisy.
