Thanks Be To God and Continental Tire

Old Guy, not knocking you, but are you sure it's just that brand? When tires wear out, the road noise gets worse. Any new tire is an improvement over an older tire where that is concerned. You'll have to let us know if the contis still stay quiet when they get close to the end of their tread life.

And I hope they do, for that matter, if it increases your enjoyment of the vehicle.

Nonsense. The stock tires had only 8050 miles on them. In fact, tire guy refused to throw them away. He said they were way too good for that made me take them home as a future buyer of my Z may want them. Those stock tires were noisy and harsh from day 1.

No need to be so rude. Just sayin, new tires are always quieter. Please keep us posted after 15-20k mi, to see how quiet your contis are. I am genuinely curious if that brand is quieter, as I need some all-seasons for the winter months, and Continental makes some nice ones.
