Quiet

craig2859 · 02-26-2012, 12:44 PM

As the title suggests I am looking to replace my tyres later this year. The tyres I am currently running are actually pretty noisy - which I didnt realise until I started to do a lot of mileage.

So if anyone can suggest some good quality - Quiet tyres, it would help a lot.

Cheers

I had Uniroyal Rainsport 2 on my last car, good grip & very quiet, I'll be giving them serious consideration when time comes to replace my RFTs

What tyres are you currently running?

nicktyler · 04-11-2012, 07:42 AM

I have Falken and they are very loud at low speeds especially when turning.

Either that or there is something wrong with the car.

I find the Michelins are noiser than the Bridgestones (both Y rated)

At the moment, cheap ones as they where bought in a rush for an MOT, and it was near to Xmas, so looking to replace with decent ones within reason.

I thought that.

Then I replaced both front hubs and all was well again

IME assymetric tyres are quieter than symmetric designs. I have no idea why that should be, but it seems to be the case.

FWIW the PZero Rossos I had on my previous car are the quietest tyres I've ever had.

I have Kumho KU39 on mine and when compared to the bridgcrap RFT these are a lot quieter and plus if you are having to replace all 4 it does not break the bank.
