I have had about 4 sets of Toyos and yes the do starting "roaring" once you get some mileage on them, but as stated previously they are an excellent handling tire (wet and dry) and much cheaper than Michs. I even like their traction off-road.

The ST II's supposedly have been redesigned to address the noise issue, so give them a try - I will when I need a new set!!
