I bought a used I30T recently and I would like to know what would be a good choice of tires. I read a lot on Yoko's where the main complain was noise.
Any ideas on tires that would make the side smoother and quiter???? I would like a smoother ride with good traction in Winter.
Help please....

not the same size, but these are what i'm running and i like em a lot. if you are on stock tires, which is what this is priced for, it's a good deal $89.

Generally the factory load rating on cars is just enough for the average owner.Find a suitable size [loaded rolling diameter]with a greater than [>5% or more] oem load rating will significantly improve tire life and improve handing roughly 1/3 of the % increase] since the tire slip angles are reduced!
Be careful of short term noise test as many directional designs get very noisey after the first 8-10,000 miles the Michelin Pilot H4 produces consistant low noise throughout its tread life [30-40k depending on application [rated load vs actual load]!

great tires for the $$$
slayer...listen to mayhem....Michelin XGTH4's Pilots....there are 7 J's in my town and I've convinced all to switch...I'm sure they'd be great for your I30 too.
