So many individual preferences on tires, so take a look:

Had these on my old accord v6 6mt on both stock wheels and 19x8 HFP wheels. They are very nice tires for sure.

One thing that's not an opinion is they're loud as hell. You'll have trouble carrying a conversation at 30mph with your passengers. I got rid of mine with 3/4 tread left because of the noise. They start out ok and after a few hundred miles it sounds like you have a mud tire on there.

My friend currently has them on his IS350 and they're horribly loud. My friend had them on his very well insulated Mercedes CL65 AMG and they were loud even on that car but better than the Lexus and TL.

They stop very well. Cornering is ok. Straight line traction is good. Sidewall is pretty stiff. Rain performance is very good. They don't need a whole lot of heat to stick compared to my current NT05s but on the flip side they will get greasy if you track them.

I ran the 255/40/17 on stock rims but I've been running this size for nearly 80,000 miles. I can post pics if I can find them. They're on this site but my host went away and I think they're all lost.

I decided to try these g force kdw's out, and my god they are awesome in my opinion. I have precat deletes j pipe exhaust and intake and I cannot break traction in first gear at all, unlike my old tires that i could easily squeel from a stop. Right now I can't hear them, but i'm sure they will get louder like everyone is saying.

They are awesome tire for the price though not to mention really good in rain.
