Ok, here's an update after driving on the new tires for a few days. They are very quiet on most surfaces, though, like the factory tires, do have some noticable sound on grooved pavement. Nothing annoying, and all tires make some noise depending on pavement surface.

I have experienced absolutely no "chatter" in slow, tight turns, even in temps as low as 15 degrees F. They steer just as well in the teens as they do in the 50s. Traction is consistent throughout this temperature range and is excellent, all things considered.

The recent winter storm passed to the south of my location, and I didn't get so much as a single snow flake at my house, so I have yet to see about traction in light snow or slush. I may head south tomorrow to find some - but not too far. Only 75 miles south of me got 12"-16" of snow!

I will add more info as the season progresses.
