The tires in my OE Mitsubishi shogun where like driving around on glass if it was cold or raining I’d never heard of these tires just did a bit of research and these seemed well thought of. I am so impressed with them, used all over winter I’ve seen a bit of snow, lots of ice and rain. Where the shogun was down right scary before it’s sure footed and a pleasure to drive. I now have confidence back. Noise is ok too couldn’t notice much of a change possibly slightly louder but I can’t be sure. Perfectly fine for me. Oh by the way not that important but they also look great. Would definitely buy again.
