Default New tire question.
My wife and I just got home from a 500 mile little trip in our 96. I have the Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires and I really like them. I find they are very quiet on asphalt but very loud on concrete roads. Has anyone had the Continental's and changed to the Michelin Pilot Sport all seasons? The same tire they install on C8's. I have to believe they are quieter. Thanks, Dan

From research it appears some have a sound deadening foam inside. But not all do. I can't seem to find out which do and which don't. Dan

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S Acoustic/Noise Cancelling (bimmerpost.com)

This shows what the foam looks like. I don't know if it is an option or what. Dan

Only ones I've seen are in 21" sizes. But I haven't looked hard.

I wonder if the ones used on the C8 have the foam? Dan
