A few days and 500kms into my new Star Specs.

Road noise: Less than my Eagle F1 GS D3's on the HWY

Feel: Sidewall feels stiffer, grips for days

So far I like em better than my last set of tires. Does seem a little more difficult (more resistance to the ground, stiffer steering wheel) to steer right at the get go, might be because they're more grippy? They're good tho!

Cheers,
Steve

FWIW, my friend said the tires were a lot noisier if he increased the tire pressure.
