What's the best UHP all season tire with lowest road noise?

Probably a Michelin Pilot

That's what I currently have. There's nothing quieter with good performance?

Get something spec’d for luxury or ev cars for them… low rolling resistance and “b-silent” type foams inside the tires 100% make an audible difference from the cabin esp and highway speeds.

I just did both arms in 100 degree Sacramento heat on my DSG in 30mins although on a rack using a large pry bar to move the tranny enough to remove the driver bolt.

If your replacing arms get the 8Y RS3 versions 8Y0407151/152 which have the 8S TT solid bushings installed

Of course I had to move this POS R34 off the rack so I can get to work....

Is that part number for the arm with the solid bushing?
Can you link where you got it from?
Not finding much with google other than $360 each arm??

thirded..lol. I have a brand new set. I said Michelin because there is typically debate with Michelin vs Conti. I however have ran both and I prefer the Conti. The new Sport 02's are just a phenomenal tire.

@Cuzoe, do you have the p/n for the capacitive climatronic unit with the 'Sync' button vs. the 'Clean Air' Zhong Zhong units?

The panel in my car is 5NA907044AP, although AJ seems to be the same in ebay pictures as well.

I may go to a Clean Air panel anyway. My singe zone climatronic retrofit makes a sync button useless. And Clean Air button apparently turns on AirCare (which works with everything retrofitted) but has to be accessed via the menu.

Thanks. Grabbed one for $90 on eBay.

Want my 'Clean Air' panel when I swap it out?

Aight. Put a reminder on my calendar to send it out in July 2025

Kidding, I'll get it over to you once the new one comes in. '

And I believe so, I didn't hear of anyone else on the list, and as far as I though, he liked it in his car lol.

 

[Cuzoe]

@Acadia18 Who are we kidding... I won't get it installed until mid 2025 anyway.

I will post later on the Conti Sport 02 thread, but just want to update they are now 2,000mi old and they have gotten a lot louder honestly... I want to say they are louder than my old P Zero AS+ with 30k mi.... It might not be the decibel level, but the frequency, its a bit ear piercing after 50mph.... it changes with the type of road surface, but the roads I mainly use are getting brutal... Almost making me think its a wheel bearing or even diff issue...
