Although my alignment is kinda screwed up. ![thumbsdown thumbsdown](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/thumbsdown.gif)

My Falkens are quieter than my stock tires were. And there is not a noticable ride difference on the 18's...

I Have Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position SO3's in 225/40/18. Great grip wet and dry and not too loud. Most performance tires are going to be louder than non-performance tires because of the rigid/short sidewalls. RAW

i have it...the performance is ok but the noise is really anooying Loud yes, but try this on another tire: I took an almost 45 degree offramp turn at nearly 60 MPH (it was dark, I couldn't see), hard over on the wheel, light brake, back end stayed TIGHT and I rounded the turn, let off the brake, punched the gas at the apex, at a TINY squeak and I was going about 45-50 on the exit, hit lift and was gone. LOVE The grip ![tongue tongue](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/tongue.gif)
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation To know even one life has breathed easier This is to have succeeded.
