Default Yokohama A520 ... your thoughts

wanting something to just put on my del Sol, I bought a friends used set of racing hart cp-8's that were just sitting in his garage for a really good price. they have the A520's on them in good condition, and I finally got to put them on and drive around. Well these tires are the loudest tires I have ever heard in the world!! I guess it is just because they are softer, but has anyone else ever had experience with them? Is it just these tires that are this loud? I had a set of kuhmos' before and it seems like they weren't this loud, but I can't remember.

thanks. I was thinking it was just because they were soft. they do seem to grip pretty well too.

What tire pressure should you run a 40 series tire at? 30 or 31 psi?
