How noisey do those get with wear? I've had other tires with similer tread design and they got terrible noisey with age.

I thought about getting those from tirerack, however, I did not want to end up with a tire that had possibly been sitting on the shelf for several years. I believe that size GS D3 is being discontinued. I ended up getting FireHawk Wide Ovals for the rears last week, so far, so good....

I would tell them before I ordered that if they ship a tire with a date code over 6 months old, I will not accept them.
