I bought mine over a year ago, before the noise issue was known. I used Tire Rack's price to get the same deal from the local shop. It sounds like TIre Rack is standing behind these tires, whereas my local shop won't.
IIRC, TIre Rack is able to ship (to me at least) for about $5/tire. Measure your tread depth for an idea of how much the pro-rating will come to. I measure mine a couple weeks ago and they were between 4 and 6/32nds; new was 10/32nds. My guess is that the proration is linear, so at tire at 5/32nds will get 50%. If they consider them worn at 2/32, then at 5/32 there is 3/32 left, so the proration might be 3/32 / 8/32 or .375. That would be about $35/tire, which would be nice.
I'm leery of going with the Gen2's though. I'd hate to have this problem again in 6 months.
