Hi, I have a Golf GTi mk7.5 and want to get the quietest tyres. I've tried to make the car quieter by fitting the harmonic damper, and soundproofing the boot and under back seat with dynamat and closed cell foam - this has helped reduce road noise.
I'm on Michelin PS4 tyres (225/40/18) that are very noisy on rough surfaces. The EVo 2019 summer tyre test, using a Golf Gti as the mule, tested a number of tyres and the Continental Premium Contact 6 tyres were said to be quietest in the cabin (I know the Dunlop Sportmaxx are lowest Db for external noise). What i want is the quietest tyre, i will happily sacrifice some sportiness for lower road noise. Is there anyone who has tried both PS4 tyres and CPC6 tyres, One person on the Golf Gti forum had and so am interested for any more feedback on this forum.
Also, if you have had CPC6 and a quieter tyre i'd be interested to hear. I'll go for all season, eco tyres, whatever for less noise on poor, concrete.
Finally, if i sell the PS4 tyres on ebay (there is about 4-5mm left per tyre), any recommendation for couriers so i can calculate the cost.
Thank you
