Thank you!! I just ordered a pair for my rear tires.... there were bald and I have been putting off replacing them. Shipping was $30 and the estimate for install was $50, so $350 total.

I have the sport maxx a's on the rear and yes, they are a bit noisy but an excellent performing tire.

Thanks! I just ordered a set for the rear last night!

Any recommendations for front tires?

I was thinking of the similar Sport Maxx TT which are on closeout for $162, but I saw a guy on here complaining they were really noisy and uncomfortable. I've currently got some Sport Maxx A's all around, which are fine for me. Any opinions?

^Your best bet is to match them up model for model. But when someone says a tire is noisy, it's only from their personal experience. Just because it is noisy to someone, doesn't mean it will be noisy to you.
