Does anyone know whether there are certain brands or types of tyre renowned for quietness? My fattish-wheeled Audi A6 will be due for a tyre change soon and I would welcome suggestions.
Apologies if this is not a sufficiently \'technical\' matter.

Good results have been reported for Goodyear F1s on Saabs, on sizes 215/55x16 and 225/45x17. Dunlop market the SP1 as "the quiet tyre" but I am very disappointed with the levels of road noise on my Saab in sise 215/55x16. It seems that different makes of tyres react differently on different cars.
HTH.

Yes, I agree the F1s are quieter and have outstanding grip, but wear out quickly.
I have the new Pirelli P7s now, these are very good, and I don't find them noisy, but many tests/reviews I have seen mark them down for noise.
