They look nice, but they also look like they might be rather noisy.

I wish, but I drive all year round and the Goodyear summer below 40 are a death trap.

did not notice any increase from my other tires. Drove about 10 miles on the highway and a few on local roads.

Not typically but it has been getting colder and snowing more every year. It snowed today as a matter of fact. I use winters because of the temps though not the snow though.

Put mine on last week. I only have about 50 miles on them, but I didn’t notice anything either.

The PA5s are not that loud. Remember these are softer than OEM so the don't really create that much noise.

There’s some magic at Michelin. I had their CrossClimate2 tire installed on my work van last week, and they’re super quiet and smooth. It’s a very aggressive V tread pattern, triple snowflake rated.

I had long convos with two very prominent racers who both said that without a doubt, Michelin had the best tire tech out there across the board. I said "well, WTH happened at the 2005 Indy F1 race then?"

I grew up in farming country. I guess I just can't seem to get past the Tractor Tire look of the tread pattern on these Michelin's.

I have all monkeybar brand storage in the garage and was thinking of getting their tire storage option. Does not have the best reviews but would “match” everything else. What other options do people use? That one from TireRack looks pretty easy to install - does it feel real strong?
