I have no need for performance tires as I will never utilize their properties, period. My tomcat days are long past and I have nothing to prove anymore. At 68, I haven't had a driving infraction of any kind in 25 years.

When these present tires are done, who makes a smooth riding and quiet tire that will give me decent mileage? I have no need for a spare tire, as I would flatbed the car to my garage if one were ever required.

Try Michelin A/S 3, they have 500 thread wear and it performs well when needed

I have the as 3 on mine now and they are noisey, others comment on them in the car. As for just how loud they are vs Oem I can't say as I got the car used with them. I did track them once and they actually weren't bad, felt loose at the end of the day but never spun out or anything.

I am changing to s04 this Monday so then I will have something to compare on noise. Had my eye on mpss but the s04 are going for a great deal right now and all test have a close 2nd vs mpss while at the same time s04 gets comments of being whisper quiet. Neither is going to give you great wear though and if your not performance driving then might be a waste. If my plans work right then next year I'll probably have a set of 18 squares for track and then just use something like a conti dw for street.
