Which is the quietest of the high performance tires?

Hellrot Sachin · 04-15-2012, 12:17 AM

Any suggestions? I'm thinking of going w/ Michelin Pilot Supersports.. I'm willing to trade a bit of performance for a quiet tire that offers good ride comfort.. Any idea how the above compared with Conti Extremecontact DW?

Thanks!

I had those on another car - they didn't last as long as other summer tires, but were quiet.

The Continental Extreme Contact DW would be the way to go for what you're looking for in a softer and quieter ride for summer tires. The Michelin Pilot Super Sport would be a close 2nd but does have a firmer ride than the Conti DW.
