Mine dont rub, and im running a 275/35R18 in front. maybe it has something to do with the Griggs front end? I dunno. they are chewing up the inner fenders though. ah well.

Thats what I meant, the 275s rubbed BAD at full lock, the 255s do a little but not as bad, they are on a 9.5" rim...

Oh, they rub at full lock? I know your car isnt low enough to tear up the top part of the inner fenders. my car is slammed about 2.5" or so, so it used to really rub.

Should of dropped it instead.
Why? So it looks nice and vibrates worse than a $5 hooker? Ride/power before looks man. I never got that hood/bumper first because I wanted looks, I got it because I smashed the car last winter :p.

My cars lowered and rides awesome. And it looks amazing. And with out suspension mods all that power isn't getting transferred properly.

To be honest I'm not very big on the KDWs. They are really loud tires, pretty much as loud as my unshaved RA1s, and louder than any other street tire I've ever driven on. Traction is ok, but not as good as cheaper Sumitomo HTR ZIII. I have yet to see what wet traction is like. The only reason why I'm using them is because they came with the Cobra wheels I bought recently.

Hate to rain on your parade Slayer but he's right. They are the worst tires I've had on the car. I don't think I'll ever own a BFG tire again. It's not just these either. I've had BFG's in various forms on the Jeep and they were terrible. My Goodyear Mud-Terrains were quieter then the BFG All-Terrains.

I already have driven with many tires, These ARE the quietest tires I have had. Mind you, I drive on rough streets. But for noise, I cant hear the tires at all, I can actually hear every bit of my exhaust now. I have no complaints. As for 5.woah, I ment I'd rather have the new tires on now instead of lowering it now. No point in lowering when the old tires were terrible :).
