I understand that and that's why I said "usually".

That's not what I was talking about though. I was referring to tires that are known to be loud. Lots of time people buy them and right away they don't hear anything, so they say they tell others that the tires are great, but then down the road once the tire wears, it gets louder.

It's usually a pretty safe bet that when reviews say a tire is loud, they usually are. It's that you have to really read the reviews, because probably 90% of the time, people just put tires on a vehicle and once they get home from the install, they are saying how great they are compared to their old tires. First off, their old tires were probably almost bald, so anything is going to be better than what they had. Secondly, they probably drove less than 100 miles in one type of weather, so they really don't know what they are talking about

All I'm just trying to say here, is do your research before buying tires. Sorry I went off on a bit of a tangent

It is a tire thread, and I agree some tires are loud, uh the other T/A is almost famous for the noise, but lots of folks still love them for the other things they do.

I wouldn't call these exceptionally quiet, or cushy, The other tire in the picture Gmax03, is the quietest, and smoothest tire I have ever owned.
