Default my Kumho 711's are nearly silent on the highway.

I love them- cannot be beat for the price, hands down.

Default there's a lot better out there for under $150 than the Kumhos...

not to rip on them. I have them and they are an awesome tire... great wet and dry traction... but you can get tires that hold even better than these for under $150! The Kumhos are good sub $100 tire... great bang for buck

my 2 cents

Default I'd rate them about a 7.5 (out of 10) for noise

They are also VERY cheap....less than $100/each. If you want something extremely quiet, this isn't the right tire for you, but they're not loud by any stretch of the imagination.

So what would be on your short list for under $150 (Florida - no all seasons need apply)
