With the new rear tires, just a little noisy. I guess as they wear, they get noisier

They do have an advantage that they have a 45k mile treadwear warranty! However, if you have staggered setup (as generally we do) they cut that in half to 27,500 miles. My rear tires on the 996 were spent @ 11k miles, fronts at least 60% left. They adjusted them so I had to only pay 40% of the replacement cost for a new set.
