Noisy is the least of your worries. These things are straight up plastic tires in the rain, seriously keep your distance and granny it in the rain.
Cons: plastic tires in rain

They are pretty hard tires. Loud, slip in the rain if you give it enough gas, don't feel as solid in a corner. But you'll get better gas mileage on them than a sport tire and they will take much longer to wear out.
Pros: better gas mileage, longer wear
Cons: loud, slip in rain
The stock tires kind of suck, but I think people here overblow how bad they are. They're acceptable for daily driving, but a lot of people who buy these cars like to drive them like racecars from time to time and in that regard they are pretty terrible.
Pros: acceptable daily driving
Cons: kind of suck, terrible
After 2K miles i could not stand the road noise anymore. I upgraded my tires and what a difference it was. that annoying road noise disappeared and grip got a lot better.
Pros: grip got better
Cons: annoying road noise
Mileage: 2000 km
I don't think they're overly noisy but don't think they're very grippy. I'm actively avoiding running the car in the rain from the hydroplaning posts and dismal Tire Rack ratings - which is kind of ridiculous.
Cons: not very grippy
My first time in the rain was the nail in the coffin it's straight up irresponsible that VW put those things on our cars. It's a shame but mine didn't last 1000mi before I got rid of them and that's only because I waited for a sale.
Cons: irresponsible, didn't last
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 1000 km
Only fly in the ointment seems to be the OEM tires, Hankook Kinergy GTs. I've noticed, in the very short time we've had the car, that they are noticeably noisier than the Cooper Endeavors we had on our trade in, and the Michelin Cross Climate 2s we have on our other car.
Cons: noticeably noisier
If you're just driving on dry pavement, they're ok. They are absolutely horrible on wet pavement (poor grip and hydroplane easy). My daily driver came with them on it new and couldn't wait to get them off.
Pros: ok on dry pavement
Cons: horrible on wet pavement
Mileage: 20000 km
am dat pe ale mele acum 290e hankook kinergy 4s, nu stiu inca cum sunt, cautasem review’s pe net si erau cotate ok
Pros: cotate ok
Cons: nu stiu inca cum sunt
Eu am pus asa pe 18 si am prins uscat si umed momentan, o sa vad la iarna.
Nu mi s-au parut zgomotoase si nici la consum n-am observat vreo diferenta.
Pros: nu zgomotoase
Cons: sa vad la iarna
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
