im running the es100's and absolutaly love them, there the best set of tires i have had ( 1 set of stock bfg's, 2 sets of avs intermediate) for the price they definetly beat the bfg's, and from what i remember grip better. they f'n grip like mad around turns, and im all about the turns. I dont really care about noise from tires so i dont really pay atention to that but i dont think they are very load. They are useless in the snow, strickly summer tires. dont know about tred life yet only got about 2-3,000 miles on them. but dont really care about tred life, just performance wich these have
