Default Road noise?

How quiet are they? My Michelin A/S 3s are incredible but I moved south to NC so looking at options for a non run flat, maybe summer only tire. Hadn’t thought of Goodyears.

I have them on my C7 for winter tires. They ride smooth and quiet. They also have decent grip - not as much as my summer tires, but the car still has more grip than you will need for normal street driving. I do notice they will break loose a bit easier than the summer tires if you are launching hard.

I just got the Mich A/S ZP’s. FWIW I looked for the widest tires closest to the OEM runflats and the Mich’s were the closest, but still not as wide. Be careful….if you like a wide look… brands vary in width for the same sizes. New Goodyears look pretty thin widths to the OEMs.

For the price, they are very good overall in all categories, I can't complain. This is my 2nd set, as I also put the same tires on my old '99 C5.
