Hello Everyone,
I am planning on replacing my tires on my summer wheels this spring (currently, snow tires on...) and I am looking for a tire that will last a bit longer than what I have been using and quieter, as well.
Currently, I have General Altimax HP's on and prior to those, Falken 912's. The Falken's were amazing, but wore quickly... The General's have lasted longer, but are reaching the end now (I also preferred the 912's over the Generals). Both tires developed significant road noise once they wore a bit, which is understandable... But they were not THAT low... Around 5/32. I got around 25-30K on these tires.
I am looking for a tire in the 225/45-17 size, maybe something like a grand touring tire? I don't care at all about snow/ice traction, as I have dedicated snow tires. However, dry handling and hydroplane resistance is important. I like a responsive tire, stiffer sidewalls preferred. One key trait I am looking for is the road noise... I hate a loud tire. I want something quiet! Long tread life will be nice as well, something that lasts me longer than 25-30K... Being used on a 2008 Scion xB.
Any suggestions? I have been looking at the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus tire. Good reviews on tire rack (one available in my size, rated top). Any users of this tire?
Appreciate any input!
