Need a quiet tire!!

Hi all,
Well I have searched the forums about front end humming road noise. Everyone suggests changing the tires, but fail to recommend a quiet tire. I have an 03 G35 coupe with 19's front tires are Nexens'. So does anyone have advice on a pair of tires? This humming road noise has been driving me nuts. Thanks........

Don't know if they make tires to fit your car, but the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity that I put on my sedan solved my noise issues. They're great tires as well.

They are a V rated tire, but I would call them more of a touring tire than a sport tire.

Depends on how you drive. I was after good performance and a cabin noise level equal to the near-luxury moniker associated with our car.

Michelin Pilot sports. Again, not cheap but they're great tires.

Guess it really depends on what your running out back size wise so you can eventually match the set. I'll assume its a 275 on the rear. Quietest of the bunch in that size combo would be the Michelin Pilot Sport AS+ and Conti DWS. I have had complaints of the DWS getting a bit louder longer in it's live, however. Can't say how these will mesh with the Nexens on the car now. Best to run them the same brand/model all around.

Nexens are super noisy and they get worse as they start to wear, especially if it's uneven wear.

Michelin Pilot sports I am currently on these tires right now. They are super worn right now and I am probably going to purchase a new set in the next month or so.

Even though they are super Worn they are as quiet as ever. Definitely my favorite set of tires I have had on the car. I am lowered on 19s and they drive great even worn down they do!
