Goodyear or Goodrich?

Anybody using Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's or Goodrich KDW 2's? I'd like to know how noisy they are; I know they both rate highly for performance. Are they quieter than the stock Potenzas that come with the 8?

I've used the Goodyears before on my DC5 Type R (which had Bridgestones standard) and yes they generated more road noise.

Due to their tread pattern, they also had a tendency to tramline a fair bit as well.

Don't know whether this would be the same case with the 8 though.
Good luck with it.
