Does anyone run these and do you have noticeable road noise? I have a set on my Camaro SS in ZL1 sizes and they howl worse than some of the mud tires I've had on my trucks.

No personal experience, but a search shows a lot of reviews that claim they are quite noisy.

The tires that were on the car when I got it are the same model of tire but in the smaller stock SS widths and I don't recall them being all that noisy. These depending on road surface and weather conditions can vary from fairly quiet to howling like mud tires.

Which one's do you have?

They have 3 different models.

Extreme Contact DW (probably not these)

Extreme Contact Sport 02 (these have a UTOG of 340 AA A)

Extreme Contact DWS 06 (these have a UTOG 560 A A)

I hope its not the Sport 02, I really like the looks and tread wear #'s for a daily driver.
