Had them on my GTO, real good grip, good all weather traction, handle very well, look cool, noisy as hell. The noise was the only downside to them.

I have them on my BMW...great tire except, just as "ianfelts" mentioned, they are noisy as hell. I would imagine that the noise would only be worse on a Z06 because of the lack of noise insulation.

Just changed from Vredenstiens to KDW and wow what a difference in the road noise. The KDWs are super noisy.
