Falken's Grip is acceptable..but Noise Level too high.

I'm using FK510 225/45R17 now. To me it's good enough. Maybe my car is too slow to make full use of its grip limits.

Before that, I was using Yokohama V552 in 195/65R15, locked up and skidded on wet road when i e-braked and caused an accident. 

And way way before that in another car, was using Yokohama Aspec DB in 205/55R16, locked up and skidded on wet road when braking on amber light. Luckily managed to stop in time safely.

After the V552, I swear never to use Yokohama again. The grip is good in dry, but a totally different story in wet.

Anyway in the past week, I am hearing some new noise, not sure if it's from the FK510 (slightly over 20k km) or my wheel bearings going bad, need to check during next servicing
