Tyres again !!!

[gh3382]

I have read through the recent posts on tyres and potential for replacing my Continental contact 2 's .

At times they seem a bit noisy at recommended pressure on my Ml 350. I have read a few recommendations which people have made especially about being a bit quieter than Conti's.

I have 265x45x20 on and have about 3mm on them and the have lasted 20k mainly around town driving. Needless to say they are not cheap but I dont mind paying for a good tyre that is going to stop me when I need to stop .

I am thinking of Good Year Efficient grip 2 or the Good Year Assymmetric depending if my size available.

Recently I have read that quite a few people run higher than recommended tyre pressure whats you view on this as I always worked on reccomended pressure for wear, noise and safety.

Any help appreciated

pump your tyre size in one of the many online tryre vendors for an idea of tyre charachteristics.

Some are niosier than others and thats due to the compunding.

In general terms the quietest tires I've used are Michelin followed by Nokian and Vredestine. Their tread and compounds work well.
