Has anyone bought these tires? I hear good things about them, specifically with regard to handling response and grip. However, I hear they are quite noisy (obviously this is quite dependent on the car).

Anyone bought them and put some miles on them, are they really so noisy that you can't have a conversation in your car?

I already searched the forums, has anyone purchased these tires?

I have put about 3000 miles on these tires. You can start to hear the droning sound at around 50 mph, and it gets steadily louder as you go faster. However, it doesn't get so loud that you can't hear other people in the car. Compared to the OEM Michelin MXM4s, they are definitely louder though. I've had to turn up my radio volume about 3 clicks to compensate.

However, the benefits far outweigh the cons. Crazy dry grip, very good wet grip, sharper and more responsive steering, and better stopping distances. I'm curious to see how they do in the snow though.

I had the BFG G-force Sports (UHP Summer tires) and I loved them, but they did get loud as they got older.

I think I am going to order a set of 4, has to be better than having all-seasons that lose dry grip over time and have soft sidewalls.

Thanks.
