I have the KD's (not the W's though). I am runing a 9.5 in the front with a 275 and a 10.5 in the rear with a 295. The sidewalls are sitting perfect. If I was going with a 9 and 10 I would want to run a 265 and a 285, but I doubt they make those. Your best bet would probably be a 255 and a 275. It's better to go with a tire that is slightly smaller than bigger than perfect.

I did a lot of research on these tires and found that most people said after 10k they become really loud. I dont know from personal experience, but just what i found.

Mine were loud new. But that is the trade off for a tire that is more track than street. And they simply get louder the wider they get.

As squidd said, and the reason I looked into them in the beginning, is that they perform very well, so if you don't mind a louder tread, go for it.
