They are quiet, at least can not be heard over any other sounds when driving, and I don't usually have the radio on.
Not sure what info you are trying to gather, seems more like you want to argue everyone.

You are right, I apologize.

I suggested these tires because they are a quiet, smooth riding tire and very inexpensive. $350 for all four mounted, balanced, tax, disposal fee, total price out the door.
I run Michelins on the GMC, BF Goodrich g Force Super Sports (ZR rated) on the Nova and Chevelle. Both sets are also quiet and smooth riding, but are very pricey.

Have you checked out MasterCraft tires? They're made by Cooper. I put a set of allseason ones on my wifes Focus awhile back, and am running AXT's on my Ranger. The ones on the Ranger are rated MS, so you wouldn't want those, but the ones on the Focus could be. I can't recall the model, Touring something or other, I think, but they run nice and quiet, smooth. They also have other tires besides those of course, and might be what you'd like. And the prices are very good, with a pretty good warranty. The warranty on the Focus are 65k IIRC.

It is a wimpy tire but just right for the use it gets and the cost. The tire shop they were purchased from is in the same complex as the NAPA I work at. They sell a lot them and have not had any come back for failures.

Any idea on how much the stock steel wheels with stock size street tires are worth? I need to sell them and was thinking of asking $100 for all 4 with the lug nuts and caps. Tires have about 40% tread left on them.

I understand your humor, but I'm putting them on a 2wd Supercab Edge that never gets off the pavement.

I can't find those Michelins anywhere.

I like Cooper tires, that's what's on it now.
