Im on my 2nd set now, personly i dont find them very noisy, ive been up to 80mph on mine and yes you can hear them hum a little but when i first got them i fort they were going to be very load. As for handling i some time dont drive easy or slow, and i havent had them really slide on me, if you chuck it into the corners its a bit different but with good road position and letting the pressure build up i find them pretty grippy wet or dry.
