Re-tirement For My Z
 
I'm thinking about re-tiring my Z---replacing the stock tires on my base model with a set that will decrease the road noise I'm suffering with. I only drive in dry weather and am not concerned about performance, etc. What tires are the best bet for highest priority on a less noisy ride? I read about Goodyear Comfort Treads but I don't think they come in our size.
By coincidence, I'm also retiring myself and look forward to more Z time this summer.

ask 5 guys get 5 different answers... i went with hankook v12's
when it was time to change... way better then the bridgestones for road noise.
and maybe a tad better ride. price wasn't bad either

When is time I'm going to go up on my 19s, a little bit beefier. Any suggestions?

kenchan 03-10-2012 08:27 PM

Beefier... Re11's. Stock size either DW, pilot Supersports for me. Bridgestones are great, but too heavy and has memory (easy to flatspot).

My:twocents: for what it's worth. Dynamat the hatch area was enough to tame the road noise for me. Alot cheaper than a new set of tires too. When it's time for tires, I'm leaning towards Continental DW's from the research I have done on the forum and the tire shop web sites.

hankook v12's
hands down the best most comfortable quitest tires i have even had. and i'v had just about all of them on my various cars.

do not buy RE11 if you hate road noise. they are quieter than oem, but they are still loud

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. You will not be disappointed.

Agreed. I went with these and they are much quieter than stock.
