Almost all the noise is road noise which of course originates with the tires. However, touring tires quiet enough to reduce road noise will be pretty disappointing handling wise. I would not do this.

The OP's complaint is road noise. Your solution is to not reduce road noise? |

About an 80% (Subjective to my hearing)reduction in road noise over the stock ones but still with a ultra high performance tire that is truly amazing. I will never buy another type of tire again.

Yup. Only solution is to strip out interior panelling, glue in some dynamat or similar and make the metal panels heavier so they will be quieter. There is no other solution. Softer tires just ruin the car.

https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests...y.jsp?ttid=216 Available from the same link, just connect to the comparison test. Dig a little deeper and you find out how Pirelli bests Michelin and the previous gold standard Continental DWS. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests...r.jsp?ttid=216 Don't choose the Pirelli s for snow! |

Looks like most reviewers do not agree with which is quieter.

Great suggestion. Changing tires is clearly a less effective solution than gutting the car and adding 200 pounds of sound insulation. |

When I see a car that has stripped the interior and done full coverage of dynamat or a similar product, I shake my head at the monetary waste, excess weight, and lack of fundamental understanding... I'll just don my flame suit and leave the thread now... Last edited by nextcar; 05-16-2017 at 05:12 PM. Reason: P.S. Just to be clear - I am totally in favor of changing the tires first! |

No question the Michelin is the better tire in cold weather and nearly as capable as the Pirelli when used as a summer tire. Snow grip is pretty impressive for the Michelin when you consider how grippy it is in hot weather. Notice the tiny biting teeth in the tread grooves? They really work on snow if it's not too cold. Let me defend the factory choice of the Primacy. A very light tire with good grip wet or dry. The Primacy suits the power level admirably. Doing all this again I'd modify the shocks and springs before I laid out good money on replacing the fairly good Primacy. |

Fitting higher performance tires is a bit of a no brainer but increases road noise and uses more fuel. Sometimes the factory does know better. |
