Default tires

Hi Folks, i know there are several threads on tires in these forums but I just want some specific feedback

My Bridgestone Potenza RE040s are on their death bed and I am about to reorder another set...

Living in Dallas its mostly "summer" driving...

Should I stick with them or go with something else...

They lasted 22K but seemed to be a bit noisy..

Thanks!

Default I stuck with mine

Replaced them at 20K. The only time I find them loud and annoying is when travelling over bridges such as 190 over 75. Something about the concrete roads on bridges cause the tires to get a harmonic going. Replacing them helped.

Default Boardwalk

I had the tires sent directly to them. I also had an alignment done at the same time as my original set had worn on the insides.
