Exactly! People get oo caught up in the "Z-rated" stuff.
I agree though, the KDW2s are a bit on the loud side.

Z rating: under the older system introduced 1999 spec on tires above 149mph
Y rating: newer system, tire spec at 186mph
(Y) rating: newer system, tire spec at >186mph

And your point is? 
I was agreeing with the Manch's statement below:

He was probably clarifying the common misconception that Z-rated tires are the highest performing. 
-- 1999 SVT #220 --
In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

You can't go wrong with a Michelin Tire. I have had almost every brand of tire and I am sold on Michelin. You can argue cost and all of the other factors, but it comes down to personal prefrence, and personal experience.
