Anyone Running Toyo Tires? Quiet? I mean REALLY quiet?
 
I need new tires and am fed up with the road noise that the various performance tires give (S03s, Pirellis, Pilot Sports, etc) I know this is a subjective thing but most suggestions I've had are for tires that I've used that are noisy. Maybe nothing runs quietly on the TT?

What about the new Toyo dBs series? They're supposed to be designed for quiet. Anyone with first hand experience?

I run the PS2's and IMO they are quiet. I used to run them on my GTI as well and they were quiet
 
also. Now I'm running Pirelli's on the GTI and those are noisy ! ! I'm alos running Toyo Proxes on my Jetta and they are quiet but not as quiet as my PS2's....

I'm running Toyo T1R's with about 18k on em and they are starting to get noisier....
 
which is TYPICAL of all "chevron" style tire designs. It's not bad - but it's more noticeable now.

I'm running Toyo T1R's with about 25k... they don't seem that much noisier than when new...

My T1-S were pretty quiet until they got below the wear bars

Not sure that noise is totally brand specific. -----------
 
I have had good experience with Pirelli P Zero Nero. Still quiet after 20000 miles . Getting a bit worn now and beginning to consider replacing With another set for winter.
My previous Bridgestone S o3s got real noisy by this time. Inside edge feathered a bit at rear. Tire rack reviews are a good source of online info.

Look at the Tire Rack site. They compare tires for noise and other items.>>>
 
I bought my Kumho ECSTA SPT because they were quieter than my BFG KDW 2's.
