I have these on my car right now. I was warned of them being noisy but I didnt notice any difference at all. I did not notice any vibrations as well. What I did notice was they were pretty sticky. I can no longer chirp in 2nd gear compared to the Nitto555. It was a decision between these or the Falken 615's but seeing that most of my driving was gonna be daily driving, I choose the more expensive, longer life tire, over the cheaper shorter life tire.
mine is not a daily driver anymore, but i am really impressed with them. i had nt555's before and i was scared shitless in the rain. now with these i can cruise at least 80 in the rain with no, i repeat, no problems 
i think they are pretty damn sticky too

After driving it more I come to learn that the vibration starts somewhere at 50 to about 65 then the vibration lets up or disappears after 65. It's hard to explain but it feels like it vibrates all over the car, but it's not a vibration like the steering wheel is wobbling. It feels more like if I riding on tires from a bigfoot truck sorta like if you feel each tread pattern hit the road. That's the best I can explain it.
I did go back to the shop. couple of tires were off balance by .25 of an ounce but this didn't make a difference at all.
I guess I just can't drive between 50-65MPH

I've had a few customers this week come back and return these tires. Cars included a stock TL on 19s, a modded 350Z on 18s came in, and 300ZX on 18s and an SRT4 on 17s came and they all complained about ride quality and noise.

i am running these on my SSR's and they seem just fine to me.. i don't really have any other experience with other tires so im not sure how it would compare.. but i don't get any vibration or much road noise. they feel pretty planted and stable IMO
