Any of you guys running KDW's experiencing road noise.

I have had mine for just about 7000 miles, and they are starting to get really noisy.

Normally occurs once I hit 60 mph and up.

I am curious to see if anyone else is experiencing this.

I had them on my Miata and didn't notice a thing. Once the tires on the s2k wear out, I'll get more.

Thanks guys,

With the top down at speed (over 60 mph), you can really hear them, I guess I will just have to get used to them.

What does a set of these go for? And how about the sizing issues. If I get the same spec as the OEMs will they be similiar in dimension?

I have these tires and yes they are alittle noiser than most tires. Not bad just abit. The performance of these tires are pretty good, great rain and dry tire. When they get to the edge I feel that they talk to you pretty well. I paid about eight hundred for mine 215-45-17 and 245-40-17.
