Tires? Which make and model?

cwhawk · 03-23-2015, 03:10 PM

I have a 2012 370Z Touring Coupe that needs tires. I am interested in a quieter tire than the OEM. What is the best tire for mileage and quite? I drive sensably, so race tires are not needed.

I am looking at Michelin Pilot SS vs Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3. Which is better?

Are there other brands that can beat these Michelins?

PSS is way better. Don't bother with the A/S3s.

For noise, I have heard the Continental DW Extreme are damn quiet. But they will not compete with the PSS in terms of performance. The Conti's might do slightly better in the rain, and they might last a little longer in terms of tread wear. But the PSS will beat them in the dry and are highly recommended by many forum members here.
