Doing some comparison between the Yokohoma AVS db and the G-Force KDW. I have a pretty good idea about what to expect with the Yoko, but wondering if anyone have any opinions on the BFG KDW? Wear? Noise?

 

I don't think you're comparing apples to apples. The AVS dB is an all-season tire while the g-Force KDW is not. The all-season BFGoodrich is the g-Force KDWS (D=dry, W=wet, S=snow). I have this tire, size 235/45-17 and I think overall it's a pretty good tire. I had Mich. Pilot XGT-Z4 before, which is no longer being made. Compared to those, the KDWS seems a little better in the rain but not quite as good on dry roads. I think they may be a little noisier, too. I don't know about wear because I've only had them on for about 8000 miles. I also don't know how they do in snow because I don't drive my TLS in the white stuff. But they're considerably cheaper than the Michelins. I got them for about $120 each (I think shipping was about $10 each) from the TireRack and paid about $80 to have all of them mounted locally. Right now, I'm very happy with the KDWSs. If I can get 60,000 miles out of them like I did with the Michelins, I'll be very happy.
