New Z owner seeks tires to quiet road noise

Halcom2

I just purchased a 2009 370 touring with sports package. Talk about noisy on rough surfaces or freeway slabs. Hard to hear yourself think, but on Pacific Coast Highway or mountain roads which are predominately asphalt the noise is minimal and handling is exquisite. A whole lot of fun. Recently took a road trip from L.A. to Tucson and 90% of road was smooth. Great trip. Am running 275/19inch Michelins on rear which must have replaced the stock Bridgestones at some point. My tire guy told me when my front 245/19inch Bridges need replacing I should put Michelins on. Seems 70% of noise heard is from front tires. Michelin Pilots on front will reduce noise, have 30,000 mile warranty and will sacrifice very little if any in handling and traction. I may put them on very soon. Love the car, Chicane yellow, light grey leather interior with only 12,000 miles. Enjoy yours and in the meantime crank up that Bose system.

The dws is also much more quite than oem, I can't hear the tire roar anymore. The tire doesn't pick up pebbles and sand like the oem either.
