BF KDW's 2 or Nitto InVO's?

Has anybody tried the two? I'm trying to figure out which ones to get? They'll be covering some Dub's. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I really like both tires. In fact I actually like the BF Goodrich more than the Nittos (which most would prefer the Nittos).

Yes the BF Goodrich has very loud tire roar later in its life, but I have all the windows down and music on all the time, so I never really hear it that much. The Nittos are good because they're considered a luxury/sport tire, and I heard they're multi-directional meaning that you can actually rotate a set of Staggered wheels if you wanted to - these tires don't have a specific pattern to point in one specific direction.

That's about it, I think the BF Goodrich is a better tire overall, but it's really up to you if you can handle some tire noise.

I have the KDW's on my mini cooper S. Its a great performing tire, but it is fairly noisy later on. Just keep that in mind.

Yea, generally stickier tires tend to get noisy down the road. I wish we could get the best of both worlds. Performance and quietness.

If you can deal with the RFT noise then the KDW,s will be just fine.

Invo! They're quiet and comfortable...I drive more than 60 miles a day and love the comfort. They grip well in dry/wet too.
