Arrow Tire question - Goodyear Eagle ResponsEdge

Anybody running Goodyear Eagle ResponsEdge (Grand Touring All-Season) tires on their cars?

Specs:
* Size: 225/45ZR17
* Serv. Desc: 91Y Load Index 91 = 1356lbs (615kg) per tire
Speed Rating “Y” = 186mph (300kph)
* UTQG: Treadwear: 440
Traction: A
Temperature: A440 A A

I have two of these Gooodyears on the front that are relatively new. I have the factory Pirelli tires in the back that will soon need replacing. I want to replace the rear tires with the same Goodyear tires as the front. The road noise inside the cabin is little high currently, which I hope will go away when I chuck the Pirellis.

So if anybody has experience with the Goodyear Eagle Performance Touring tires, please share! Thanks!

Here is a picture of the Goodyear tire:

Read the Tire Rack reviews for the best tire information available. One thing is for certain, though, I would never run mismatched tires on a modern car, especially one whose handling and suspension are as thoroughly engineered as an Audi. All the braking, cornering, wet/dry handling are very different between tires, and nothing good can possibly come from mixing them up.

I bought my A3 used two months ago and it came with those relatively new tires in the front. Since then I have been wondering about the rear factory OEM tires. Though they have some tread left on them, I have been wondering if I should get the same Goodyears for the back.

That's a heck of tread pattern looks like a little bit of everything. Sorry no experience with these but I like Goodyear tires in general.

btw If you look up the tire on Tirerack.com you can find users comments.
