I have no complaints about noise with the Ecsta 711s.

Wear, well they do like all tires. I went to the softer tire to get better
dry traction. And as for wet traction, they are a TON better than the RSAs
they replaced.

In my case, I was getting 25K a tire with the RSAs, and I get about 20K out
of the Kumhos as long as I don't enter into burnout contests hahahaha
