Yes. Stock Bridgestone RE050A.

I'll be looking for tires that are much quieter than the stockers.

j.arnaldo · 01-24-2010, 07:50 AM

Right. Dunlops are much quieter that the Potenzas, if it helps any.

Buy Michelin and you can't hear the road noise, even if you want to.

thats what happened to my other 3 cars. as soon as the tires were worn out, i bought a new set with michelin, and suddenly listening to radio in the cars sounded like i was in a symphony.

I plan on buying Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. I don't track the car so I don't need sticky tires that need replacing every 15-20K miles.

i bought michelin pilot sport A/S for my altima coupe, my brother bought falkens for his altima coupe. Let me tell you the falkens was silent and my pilot sport a/s sounded like a dam train.

I cant comment on any grip.

Ditto the Dunlops in general for quiet, tread life and price, though it was hard for me to go back to them after a miserable experience on my MZ3 several years ago, when the tires were actually lopsided and wore terribly.

I put Dunlops on my MX-5 and was very pleased. They were quiet and wore very well compared to the stock Michelins (if I remember correctly) and they had a much larger lip on the sidewall fro protecting the wheels. I'd buy them again.

Not very happy with the stock rubber, it seems to be wearing out quick!! Don't have any idea what I will get next though!!
