With tires, it's tough for them to excel in all areas, and the ones that try to often are mediocre in all respects. Pretty important to identify which things matter most to the driver of the car. For me in a summer tire, it is precision/road feel and wet adhesion/hydroplaning resistance. Hard to get quiet and long tread life with those performance characteristics. I'm glad to hear the RE970as is pretty good in those departments. Most of the reviews touted the wet handling and lamented the noise, but tire reviews can be all over the map! I can take some noise if it does well in the wet. That seems to be all the more challenging with the wider tires on the 9-5 (eg vs the c900)...
