hey does anyone know whats the best tires as far as comfort and quiet? i wanna get ride of the road noise and vibration as much as possible. anyone know? thanks!

I am not sure that a tire can help out too much... other than size. If you have low profile, you are going to have a stiffer ride on the wheels and it will be transfered throughout the car.

I have Falkons on 18's and they do make some noise. The yokohama's that I had on the stock 17's were very nice. I just chalked up the added noise to the stiffer tire for the low profile, but I guess I could be wrong.

For a simple answer - as far as road noise goes, I think the best thing to do would be get your car dynamatted or soud deadened. As for the vibration, you got me... better shocks?

Watching to see what you find out.

maybe check out tirerack.com

of course I'd say the Toyo Proxes4. Because they are comfortable. as comfortable as the oem bridgestone re92's were.. The RE92 were comfy. but that's about it. The proxes4 are as comfortable as the RE92's but better everything else, traction, handling, road noise, steering feel, etc..

sorry everyone.. I don't always want to sound like an advertisment for the proxes4! lol.. I did have the pirelli pzero nero's before.. Those are like strapping on concrete blocks to your tC. Ridiculously hard riding! Would be perfect on a "perfect" road.. namely a RACE TRACK! But the real world, things are different.

You should also make sure to get your wheel/rim measured for run out, make sure the vibration you're feeling isn't coming from a bent wheel/rim.

Well, I am going to have to check out Toyo then. :D

Would ya look at that! I'm going to recommend the toyo proxes 4 as well! How about them apples!

If you don't wanna spend that much, look at some Nitto Neogens, maybe some Hankook Ventus'

BFG Gefore sport 2 is deffinately more comfortable and quieter than the Stock potenzas...and grip like a charm...kinda pricey tho.. that takes my vote...only 92 per tire...

i called tirerack.com and they their best tires for my preferences are the Potenza RE960AS or Michelin Pilot A/S; those are currently the best performing tire they are selling currently.... 150 bucks per tire, damn thats alot.....

For comfort and ride quality, try the Bridgestone Potenza LS-V/Z. Above average performance, but will ride 3x better than anything. Not cheap, however.
