Tire noise has been my biggest issue so far with my 2016 Coupe. Just a little feedback, since a few people have been getting caught out with purchasing loud tires, including me
Stock: 16" Firestone FT140
- Very Loud from new
- Continental 16" Pure Contact much quiter.
- Michelins 16" X-ice 3 I would say is much quieter than the FT140, but a little louder than the Pure Contact
Aftermarket: 245/40/18 Dunlop DZ102 vs 245/40/18 Toyo Proxes 4s
- DZ102 tons of grip, ride is good, but LOUD
- Louder than the 16" FT140
- Proxes, less grip but expected as they are not in the same class. Slightly comfortable than the DZ102, and I would say 30% quieter than the DZ102.
- Proxies quieter than FT140, and about as loud as the X-Ice 3...maaaybe slightly quieter than the X-ice 3
- Proxes was on a 5 series, now the 5 series now has 19" Michelin Pilot Sport 4s (245/40/19 and 275/35/19) and are much quieter than the Toyo.
Hope this helps other from picking a super loud tire. Down the road I will swap to the PS4s as well.
Everyone feel free to post your tires experiences as well. Would be nice to have a proper Tire noise feedback thread.
