Question Need Tire suggestions for new wheels!

I ran Dunlop SP Sport 9000's. They were a bit noisy, but overall a good ride. I wanna try something new for my 2nd set of tires, and new iforged Aero wheels, something alittle more quite on the road. Any suggestions?

Falken st115's, quite and reasonably comfortable for a low-profile tire. Not the best performance, but overall good performance, comfort, and quite. Price is good too.

I have the new Dunlop Sport Maxx and they are quiet - a lot quieter than the stock tires. Check out the review on TireRack.

Got the PS2 on my new shoes on the whip but Bridgestone RE050A are worth a look.

I am leaning very much on these tires. Are they quiet? noisy? Lemme know.

I have the BFG G-Force KDWs and they are some what louder than stock but not too bad. The grip makes up for the noise.

Pilot Sports are quiet but they are sticky and they always pick up dirt and rocks from the road...I always have to drive so slow over these areas in order to save my car from chips...

try to find the new Toyo T1-R tires. They are like the Toyo T1-S tires, but overall they improved the whole tire and they fixed the whole "soft sidewall" problem them a lot of T1-S owners complained about.

Get Goodyear GS-D3. Very quiet tire. I ran them from new to all the way down to thread wear bars and still made no noise.

Bridgestone S03s are very good tires. But they are a bit noisy though. They have amazing traction in both dry and wet(I was amazed at how well they handled in rain... even when they were wearing down). I have heard very good reviews about these tires and some people swear by them.

Kumho MXs are damn good tires for the money. They are very reasonably priced and offer the performance of tires that are more expensive. I'm using these for the moment since I don't wanna shell out $200+ per tire every 15-20k miles... I will have to see how they wear down and how long they last but so far, I'm happy with them.

Ok, this is it. I'm down to these 2. Your input please.

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A or Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Postion.

Bat.. I think I'm gonna do S03s on my Sedan when I change next year.. I hear nothing but good things about them. I just wonder if the s03s have a mileage warranty on them?

Andy,

The BS RE050A is a good tire but the problem is that they don't last that long. Threadwear is short.

The S03 is also a great tire, but they get VERY noisy when they start to wear down.
