Tires anyone?

It's almost time for me to buy tires. I need some help finding QUIET ones. I'm hoping someone here has some recommendations. I plan on going 215/55/16

For quiet yet cheap tires, you can't beat Yokohama Avid Touring. But I don't know if they come in that size. I haven't driven a TL in years, but that's what I had on them before I changed to TSX rims.

I'm using falken ZE912 iono if its considered very quiet, but compared to my old bridgestones, these are silent.

You can always get your tires @ Discount Tire and they will beat any deal out there, plus the best warranty in the business! Yokohama builds great tires, also Michelins are about the quietest tires around. I am putting some 17's and 225/45/17 cooper's on tomorrow on my 98 2.5TL.

I really don't trust Cooper, ever since they had a recall on them a few yrs ago. I'll stick to Kumho ecsta

Put on those Cooper Zeon A/S's and they are one of the quietest tires I have had, and ride great. Smooth as silk.... Everyone will have a recall now and again, so I will trust them...

They bark when I spin them. My old tires squealed. It's a welcome change. Maybe I can get more than 10k from these ones... yeah right!
