Well the noise of the SO3 is still more acceptable than the Kuhmo's....

I couldn't be more happy with my S03's

I used to run on Yoks before and they're definitely a big improvement over them. As far as road noise is concerned.

Kuhmo's are just cheap. You get what you pay for.

How many miles do you have on your S03s? Just curious since they seem to start out OK then gets louder as it wears down.

Not really sure as to the exact mileage but I have had them on for about 4 months now...I think...

Go for Hankook Ventus sport k104!

I have those on my car (rear) and futuregs has those.

They are well worth every 229.95 per tire.

GSTRANCE:

What air pressure are you running your S03? I notice that when the air pressure drops below my normal setting the tire gets quite noisy especially when braking. When I increase the pressure the noise level decreases. I am currently running 40psi (front) and 38psi (rear).

I don't have any problem with So3 as well. I have about 6000 miles on them.
You do need to make sure that you have eough air in them. 40psi is a pretty good number.
