[DML] Re: Tires

["drcrysler" <drcrysler@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have been happy with the noise and the performance. They are 
quieter than the Brigestones they replaced. The Tire Rack has 
excellent information on customer surveys. The Firehawk Indy scored 
the highest. Better than GT qualifier or cooper. The survey has 
information on wear noise performance in wet and dry. Probably better 
to rely on many opinions in a survey vs a single owners opinion. Good 
luck
