One man's trash is another man's treasure. I've got about 2K troublefree miles on them now. They are very quiet as any new tire should be. They seem to handle fine in wet or dry but of course I don't drive it like a sports car because it's an SUV. Saved about $75/tire under the next highest price tire and they were trash too. I know this because I just replaced them after almost 15K miles . . . loud as hell too.
