I went with 16" Michelin Primacy 4 68db ones and road noise has reduced quite a bit. Plus if you're in the UK, your 16" rims will never touch the kerb!
Owner reviews for tires
Kumho are excellent for the price, I have them on my SUV for winter.
Kumho Ecsta PA51. Have them on my MR2 and my Jetta. Very happy with them.
I've used the Toyo's and been very happy with them.
On my lightning I’m at 50 Ibs, I know it’s higher than recommended psi, but I noticed tire wear was a problem on these chats. After I increased to 50psi, range increased 10% and tires look great at 34000 miles, half tread left, Michelin tires.
I had the Firehawk Indy 500 from Firestone on, and they we're great. Lot's of grip going around corners and still felt very secure during heavy rain. I paid around 900 for a set of four on my 18 inch wheels.
I've only tried one set so far. Falken azenis RT 660+. So far they are awesome. They are almost too sticky tbh. There is a intersection i like to slide through and with these I have to really stay in throttle hard to get it going or small clutch kick helps.
No issues other than one blown front Conti tire after hitting a small pothole.
The absolute worst pieces of garbage that I've driven on were the Goodyear Integrity tires that came stock on my old company car (Chevy Impala). They wore like iron and had just as much traction as well.
I'd say Goodyear duratrac was my worst tires due to uneven wear and noise (probably due to the wear)
