I have read alot of posts about the Kumho Ecsta tires and the general consensus is that they are loud tires. I have a set of Kumho Ecsta Supra tires and yes, they are somewhat loud, but they are inexpensive tires. These tires are loud for one reason, they are a harder compound to help with the life of the tire. The softer of a compound, the less miles you'll get out of the tire, therefore "most" expensive tires you will generally not get that many miles out of as they are softer tires and are a quieter ride.
