Are these the DWS everyone is referring to?

Any have experience with the Hankook Ventus Nobles?

Apperently pretty good on road noise... And the side wall doesn't seem like it's as soft as the DWS.

another vote for Michelin PSS! They are amazing tires... comfortable, quiet, tread life, GRIP.

Is it a new or used Tire? I remember not getting any road noise until about 20K miles and it was time to chuck em.

I have had Michelin PSS on my car for 2 summers. In my opinion they are great handling tires but NOT low noise and NOT that comfortable. You definitely feel connected to the road at the expense of some comfort and noise.

The factory dunlops they replaced rode smoother and more quiet.
