Friend of mine's parents have had the Pilots on a few of their cars. Bot cars used the same size,235/45/18. The first car they had them on was a 1999 BMW 540, they thought they would try them and they were really noisy. They have since been worn down and replaced. Can't remember what they are they are using now. Second car they had them on was 2001 Audi A8 V8. the PS came with the car. They were even worse on this car for some reason. Really loud even while puttering around town at low speeds.
Hopefully they are a little better on the Contour. Maybe its the weight that made them so noisy. Lets us know what they're like when you get them on in the spring.

wow $216 less for 4 tires and you could have have the G-Force KDW2's and not to mention the best overall rating of the 3 listed above 
225/40-YR18 KWD2's on mine now and let me tell you they feel great so far. After only a couple of weeks I am very happy...don't really seem noisy to me either. Hell my car is loud and it's a sports car not a luxury sedan with a silent exhaust note, mushy suspension and tires. Much better then the original 215/50-16's and still better then the 215/45-17's I just got rid of. I would have never guessed there would have been that much difference in handling and ride between the three...but there certainly is!

Lack of complaints is due to lack of not having had a better tire.

I didn't say it wasn't a good tire. I meant you haven't had better, thus your lack of complaints.
I don't have to have gonorrhea to know it sucks.

Goonz, I don't think anyone is saying the tire is not good - clearly by the test results it is a very good tire. What people are saying is that for $200 less you could have had a tire that tested better than those. Hey, you're happy with the purchase - that's what matters. (But try the KDW2s next time - I'm certain you'll like them at least as much. )
