Bridgestone SO-3........Help Needed!!

After having one of my Kuhmo tires blow out on the freeway, i have decided to dump these tires and get a set of SO-3's. I am planning on getting them in 235/40-18.

My question for those of you with SO-3's is When you are driving hard, do the tires screech/squeel? Do they make any noise? My previous tires, Bridgestone RE730's, were the quietest tire I have ever had. You could skid around a corner behind a cop and he would not even hear you. The Kuhmo's i have now are pretty quiet compare to other tires, but WAY TOO LOUD for me.

I want to know what kind of sound the tire makes when skidding and taking turns hard....

thanks for the help in advance.........

Dude, they are pretty good tires. They handle pretty well and they last for 30K miles. If I was going from stock, I would love the tires. But after the RE730's, they are a step down.

So dustin, are they loud?

I know this

I could not get those tires to Squeel like little piggies and I took a few turns at 65... they are tits, no doubt.. I am back to my factory rims and tires right now, but I will never buy anything but SO3's.. The factory Michilens suck donkey dick.. I can't wait for my new rims and tires.

I got my stocks back on right now, since I am looking to unload my Helo Bezels... I knew I should of ordered Lowenharts, everyone told me to go for what you really want and I did not listen... I run my stocks in the winter, but I have other vehicles to run in the snow, The CL will not see the snow nor ride in it..

thats why I love the bay area....NO SNOW. The worst we get is a lot of rain......and these tires kick ass in the rain. If I need snow, I drive 3hrs to Lake Tahoe on my buddy's Audi A4 quattro (we just trade cars for the weekend).
