Gary I had the Hankooks on my 335i and thought they were excellent tires, regardless of price. They are very quiet, not loud, never heard that one. They are a tad less stable in turn in response compared to the Conti Contact 2's. which are more rigid in the sidewalls, but also wear much faster than the Hankooks. I would not hesitate buying them again, for track or street, I ran the hell of them at Autobahn no issues, and some big road trips in mountains pushing to limits.
For the money, they are a steal, you blow the rears and replace em for the price of 1 tire of other makes. I put 13K on em and they were wearing great though, besides the inside edge of the rears of course.
I kept 36 front and 34 rear in em around town, 38 all in winter for pot holes, and 40 at the track once warmed up.
