They are loud. Next time spend the money for better tires. As for bubbles, it depends on different variables. Like how bad the camber is if you lowered, under or over inflated tires, hit a bump, etc.
I have never gotten a bubble in any of my tires before even when I was dropped with bad camber. My brother on the other hand gets some on his tires which are bridgestones. So yeah it can happen to any tire.

My Goodyear F1 A/S are doing the same thing. Very quiet at first. Now, they're pretty noisy - most noticeable while decelerating to a stop. Oddly, they're fairly quiet at highway speed - certainly no worse than the stock Dunlops were.

I have the FK452's and they are a bit noisy. But for the price and performance you can't beat it. So I don't mind the noise one bit. But the weird thing is my friend has the same tires but in 20inch size and they are quiet as hell and he has them for almost 2yrs.

The only summer tire I have tried that still meets my quiet requirements is the PS2....but they cost a brick.

I ride 452's on 20's and IMO they are quiet to me, I think that road conditions where one lives plays a part in too. Of course selectiong tires are subjective for each owner on what is noisy what is not and what rides better.

I have the 452's on my beemer, going on third set, and they are EXTREMELY noisy. After these wear out, I will be looking else where, maybe Khumo.. Thats whats on my SC and they are quiet, smooth, and no noise.
I also have 19's and riding on stock suspension, and my beemer eats up the rear tires quick, like every 8 months, due to the negative camber.. It handles like hell, but the noise is terrible.
