Figure11 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Fitting some alloys to the wife's 03 2.0L Mondao Zetec and would like some recommendations on budget tyres with low road noise. She doesn't drive enthusiastically but does do long motorway trips. Thanks in advance. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 The new Assymetrics from Goodyear are reputed to be fairly quiet but I wouldn't say they are 'budget' price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Pirelli P-6000s. A friend of mine has them on her Tornado Red Golf GTi - and they are excellent. Cost her about $220 each - fitted and balanced (so less than 1/2 what I pay for either of my babies...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Doe Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Dunlop SP Sport are considered by some to be easy on the ears on most metalled surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson_R32 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Fulda Carat Exceleros are a VERY good budget tyre (from the Goodyear/Dunlop group) and come from a brand well known for it's low tyre noise. Cheap too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobK Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I found this list the other day while looking for quiet tyres to replace the horrendous P3000s on MrsK's 206. It's in Dutch but you get the idea. If you scroll down it has a list sorted by tyre size. The numbers for each tyre are how many dB below the EU limit they are.
