The G-Force KDW has great dry grip level and is very good in the wet. The downside is that they get very LOUD after a few miles and are prone to irregular wear patterns. Keep the pressures consistent and rotate at least every 5k in order to get the most enjoyment out of those tires.

For full disclosure, I spent 6 years with Bridgestone doing corporate training and product development. We compared to the KDW quite often in the development of the old RE750 which has just been replaced by the uber cool RE760.

They'll get louder, don't worry.

Love the Alphards, although as much as I hate to admit it, being a bit lower would really make them pop.

Im sorry but that is a dumb comment...the roof rack is there to serve a purpose. If he removes it he cant haul his bikes. Besides trunk mounted racks scratch up your bumper. Loading them inside gets grease on shit.

And thats why we have opinions, no need to insult someone because they dont agree with your thoughts.


Looks good, definitely a fan of those wheels!

Do you get much additional wind noise with the rack?

And thats my opinion...that it was a dumb comment...I wasnt insulting him. Just the idea of removing something that he uses and is necessary.
