Irrespective of performance considerations, does anyone here have any knowledge or suggestions as to what make of tyre (205/55 R16) would be the best ones to fit to my Golf to give the quietest ride?
I find the MK7 somewhat disappointing in the level of road noise transmitted into the cabin compared with my previous MK6.
My current tyres, fitted after my accident in July this year are Michelin Primacy 3 which were fitted by me shortly after buying my car last year. Somehow, they don't perhaps suit this model and was wondering whether some 'softer' tyres would be better - clearly, I am not a boy racer at 80 years of age (or nearly so)!
I'd imagine that this an almost question to answer. I have scoured the Web and eventually ended up totally confused. All tyres now have dB ratings but this is only drive-by noise and to my mind has very little to do with perceived noise inside one's car as this is a function of construction and sound insulation ie. NVH.
Yes, after getting my wheel bearing sorted out a few weeks ago, My 'anxiety' has now floated to something else, although the absence of that horrible drone, I had, is a blessed relief.
