As the only person with Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum (KU27) 18's on the non-winter wheels, there isn't much to back me up but I find them nice and quiet. Granted, the amount we use this car, the fact that they are only going to be on maybe 8 months of the year, and the fact that they have a crazy high treadwear rating of 600 it's going to take quite a while before any mileage adds up to the point of saying that the noise won't get worse.
Did I mention they were pretty cheap?

There's a HUGE difference in the road noise between different major brand tires even in the same category and price range.

FWIW...In the past, I've had Pirellis, Michelins, Continentals and Good Years during the life of a past car (1985 Cressida that went 180,000+ miles). Other then the Pirellis not lasting long, there was minimal difference in tire noise.
