customers get 35-40k+ out of the sumitomo's
they are light and balance good
I doubt they will offer the same attributes of the Michelin's, but they are probably 50% cheaper or more
they do seem to experience inner and outer treadwear problems. The noisey tire you have is probably from that bad wheel bearing or alignment chopping it up.... as long as their are no components playing and the alignment is good, these new tires should hold up and not do this!
If you want to shoot in between, I really like most Uniroyal tires, they are owned by Michelin, and I would rate them between michelin and sumitomo. I do not like the AS6000 series.......
I do however like the new Touring series tires, out of the last 5 new ones I balanced, I only put weights on 2 of the tires, and they were light weights at that..... The tread structure looks strong on the edges and I believe these tires will hold up very nicely in the mileage department.........
If saving any kind of money is a good idea for you, then if I were in your shoes and could do it, I would put on the Uniroyal touring tires....... if I could barely afford tires at all, and had to not eat a couple days to buy a new set, I would go for the Sumi's....
I promise you will like the Uniroyals, and you won't be dissapointed with the sumitomo's when you factor in the price. 20 and 30 dollar price differences between particular tires really add up when you purchase an entire set.
