Default Noisy

Can you guys post where are the tires made?
we are seeing more and more of this complaint.
so far most of the tires we found noisy are not made in the country the company is from.
another factor is the low rolling resistance deal which now is a requirement to meet to increase mpgs.
all my cars have continentals, and have no complaint at all about noisy considering between my wife, son and I have all kind of driving habits combined,
the only thing i can say is that all my tires are made in Germany.
used to use and recommend Dunlop but lately they are noisy.

I just bought a set of these in 255/35/20 XL they look really good but this is making me nervous as I haven't mounted them yet.

Wow. Everybody was telling me to get DWS to replace the crap that came on the car.
Had my suspicions about the tread pattern and how noisy it would get.

Glad my SA suggested the DW model instead. I never drive in snow. Ever.

Everybody that I know who has the DWS's loves them. No noise issues or excessive wear. Just my 2 cents... Jake

Default i was about to order...

but it seems they are on back order until early June. What happens if I need to replace one and cant get it? Should I go with something else? I will have to keep the winters on until june.

I went with Potenza's RE960, they have good reviews.
