Thanks Be To God and Continental Tire

I really don't see why people complain that they can't speak in the car. There's some tire noise but I speak to my wife fine. It may be age related hearing loss. The only time my tires are unbearable is on those black tar/embedded gravel country roads. That's when I'm like lord help me. But even then. I understand what I bought. I have the choice of taking the quiet azz altima with the conti's or my Z. The 11's are a little quieter than the 09, but I had the 09 and though it was a little louder. Neither car was unbearable... just FM roads are annoying. If road noise was an issue? I would have bought the camaro with the supersoft luxury like pirelli's.

No "age related hearing loss." Just checked it a few months ago as part of annual physical---just much better replacement tires.

How can you say that people who complain about tire noise drowning out passengers are suffering from hearing loss??

i replaced the bridgestones with the v12's and noticed a difference.
but not a drop dead damn this is what it's is suppose to sound like...

i haven't rode in a new camaro or mustang so i have nothing to compare it to...
i wonder what the c6 road noise sounds like....

handling and a smooth ride is more important to me than tire noise...
and the z delivers on the first two..

Are you saying Old Guy is old?

Are you saying hearing loss makes the tire noise LOUDER?
