I know this isn't what you are asking about, but I just put some Nitto 450's on my rear wheels a couple hundred miles ago. They are noisier than the Kumho 711s that they are replacing, which I don't like, but hopefully these will give me better service life.

Road noise really doesnt bother me, I dont see the 420's being very noisy anyway...

By noisier, I mean these tires squeal. The Kumhos were very quiet when you floored it, which I liked.

I have them in a 305/40/22. They are a great looking tire and handle well, I have about 6k on them and they still look new so hopefully they will last for a while.

I have them in 265/50-20 on my explorer and wouldnt go with anything else. It is a very good all around tire and I like the fact that you can rotate them front to back and side to side. I would say go for it.

No, they won't be seeing any snow either, I'll be putting the stock wheels and tires back on for the winter.
