got about 14,000 on oem bridgestones 19in rays.. well we all know how loud they can be. but to me the ride really isn't all that bad. anyway starting to look around hope to make it to 20,000 before changing..

can anyone suggest a decent quiet tire that would be good for daily driving..
thank you in advance.......

I like the Hankook Ventus. You guys with the 19" wheels have a few more options with them. I'm running the V4 ES all seasons during the cold weather. Much better wear rating than the OEM tires. I'll probably go back to summer tires once this stupid white stuff melts in the spring.

I ran Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons on my C6 and they were a great street tire. You might want to get an alignment. the roar is usually caused by uneven tire wear on the inner edge due to toe out of specs.

I replaced my rears w/hankooks last week and fronts with the same today. I had problems after replacing the rears only, but after matching the set with new fronts, I am very happy. They are much quieter and even though the potenzas offer better grip, for the money the hankooks seem to be the best option.
