1. They're a bucketload quieter than my snows, which are Toyo Observe. The
A6 is pretty sound damped, so it's hard to tell what would annoy others.
Plus, wear might mike them louder. But right now, they're essentially
silent.
2. They handle better than the stock Contis (duh!). I can't wait for a
healthy rain storm so I can test wet performance. Dry performance
seriously exceeds any other tire I've driven (in fairness, I've never
owned an ultra-high-performance tire before).
3. They ride MUCH smoother than either the Contis or the snows did, despite
being 235-45/17 (as opposed to 215-55/16). I live on a dirt road which is
currently inhabited with much potholes and washboards.
Won't know much more until I get 10k on them. Give me the summer to get back
and report on them again. :)
Best regards,
