I wasn't impressed with them on our CRV, seemed like low grip in snow. Yes I know, it's not a snow tire, but compared to my RT43's they seemed deficient. I'd have to look to see how long they are lasting, but I know they are not wearing great--but then again, the car is hardly new and much of that is probably related to wearing out.
They might be less loud as they age, unlike my RT43's which are notorious for noise at the end. But I've never had a vehicle with both so that's not a valid comparison.
