I just bought a set of 4 of these tires in 225 width, and so far am impressed. Tire noise is nearly non-existent in comparison to the Michelin Pilot Super Sports (PSS) I had before (also in 225), which I thought were quieter than the stock Primacy HP tires. Bought these since the PSS didn't last 25k miles and I was swayed from the Michelin A/S 3+ since CostCo is having to replace many of them due to warranty issues such as tearing.
Obviously there are some noticeable differences coming from the PSS I had before. Turn in is a little bit less responsive (PSS make the FR-S feel like the Chaparral 2J). However, it seems good enough for an all season (A/S) tire. I had a lot of difficulty breaking the car loose, which inspires confidence.
I'm very eager to re-learn how to use the FR-S with these tires properly. They seem to be worth the price (have them on the GF's car), and have very good traction.
