grip and handling are great. I'm just running them in the rear for now 285/30/20. I can't comment on the noise because I'm still running some worn down SO3's on the front that sound like 4x4 nobbies.'

i gots them also and they are great for the money. good traction and seem to wear pretty well. like others have said there is a definate increase in road noise. not too hateful but noticeable.

They do have some noise . . .but it is much quieter than stock feathered tires.
I am on my second set of rears, first set lasted 23K hard miles fronts still have about 50% left. So it looks like I will get 1 set of fronts for every 2 sets of rears, which is normal for this kind of setup. FYI, my stock RE040 only lasted 15K miles
Very Very good wet driving tire. Great dry grip.
I would have never bought these tires except they were already on the wheels when I bought them and were brand new and free. I have been impressed, but I still think I am gonna go back to kuhmo when the fronts and rears are done this time. I did not want to break the set this time around.

The falken ST-115 are super quite and decent grip, I'm running 20s I think you should go with the ST-115 since you have 20s also, ride is 10 times better than the stock 18s.
