quietest of all the max perf summer tires?

miker2013 · 08-06-2017, 10:58 AM

i am unfortunately having some ear issues and am looking to replace my tires with the quietest ones possible but also want to stay with a max performance sporty tire

so of all the max perf tires, michelin pilot super sport, continental extreme contact or continental 5p sport contact (or others) which one has the least amount of noise, road noise, vibration, ect...

any thoughts? again i would like to stay with as high performance of a tire i can get assuming i can find one with reasonable noise

thanks

Just put a set of the new Continental Extreme Contact Sport on the wife's 135is and they are super quiet. No tread noise. Less noise on impacts than the PSS they replaced. No vibration. Awesome grip in the rain. Very pleased with this tire.

I bought a whole new set of their wet and dry and man its super quiet and grips crazy.
The new compound lasts longer too. The Firestone firehawks were out of stock so I jumped on these and no regrets.

thanks guys... i researched these and yes the feedback seems to be they are a very quiet tire

how flexible did you find the sidewalls compared to the tires u had before?

thanks

Pilot super sports. Hands down best tires iv ever owned

miker2013 · 08-09-2017, 03:22 PM

let me ask this question.... comparing the older continental dws (i think that was the sport version? or was it the dw) versus the michelin super sports, which one was quieter for vibrations and road noise?

thanks

MPSS have a particular noise to them. When i have time i will try do what Continental and Pirelli have done to silence their tyres

The sidewalls are stiff and feel like the MPSS they replaced. Honestly they feel exactly like the MPSS but slightly quieter on impacts. They actually grip better than MPSS in rain. I loved the MPSS and these are virtually the same but slightly less expensive (when I ordered them).
BTW - I disliked the DW because of the squishy side walls. No problem with the new version.

PS4S are very quiet imho. I've had them for a few hundred miles and already it's noticeably quieter than the PSS they replaced before them. I've heard the new ExtremeContact Sports are also really quiet.

Drifter2090 · 08-11-2017, 09:44 AM

Kumho Ecsta PS91's I just got them on my M359's and they have been extremely quiet and handle very well, they are fairly new, but there are a bunch of reviews already

techwhiz · 08-11-2017, 03:26 PM

I have Continental in 245/35-19 and 275/30-19.
Quiet.

Really? I have them in 245/40R18 on mine atm.

i decided to buy the continental extreme contact sport tires

they are fantastic, very smooth and quiet and good performance as well

of course coming from re050 tires i am noticing less turn in and lack of road feel while turning but the better straight line road feel and added grip are worth the trade offs
