Default bf goodrich?

Is there a problem with bf goodrich kdw? Nobody talks about them or asks about them. I am about to buy new tires and these look like the best deal. They have great specs and plenty of sizes to choose from.

I just put them on my C6, since there is very little to choose from for the 19" rear. I have only driven them hard a couple of times, but they seem to stick as well as the Goodyear Supercar runflats, and much less expensive. I put them on as a temporary solution until I go to 18" rears or, until some more choices are available in the 19". They are noisier new than the Goodyears were when worn out, but I'm not surprised. And I expect they will become worse with wear. But if you can live with a little more noise, it seems to be a pretty good value.
