Default "Silence is Golden" cya P6's, hello Mr. Bridgestone!!!

Long story short, ordered Pirelli PZero Nero's online, they did not arrive for installation, so they installed Bridgestone Potenza RE960 Pole Positions for the same price.

Should I run OEM tire pressures 35F32R or? TIA

Default Are they really that much quieter?

I would love to get rid of the p6's for a myriad of reasons but am having trouble justifying the cost.

Default My justification was that I paid $30k for a car its not going to sound like an

American 4x4 truck and a small bonus from work that offset 75% of the cost.

I just bought the re960's, but so far they are at least 90% quieter if not more. I can hear wind noise on the windshield, do not have to turn my music up so loud, and the ride comfort is very noticable.

I had two sets of bridgestones on my last car, so I am confident these tires will last. Time will tell.

I lasted four months with the loud P6's, nothing wrong with the performance imo, if you can put up with the noise, they should last 30-35k. I just wish I would have rotated them between 5k and 15k.
