Bought a set of Sumitomos HT200 and the ride is real quiet. Good in the rain, can't coment on snow as I haven't been in it with these. My first 1000mi in them I can hardly hear the road. These are touring tire & I did give up cornering grip in them but my goal was to improve ride quality(thus sq in the car enviorment), over the Dunlops.. Excellent tires so far...So in closing, these are quiet, surefooted, and decent looking treads...that I'd recommend to anyone looking for the above qualities.
