“Not in US, but typically in my country, there are 2 favorite tires for comfort and noise: Michelin Primacy 5 for better comfort and noise. Bridgestone Turanza 6 for almost the same quality of Michelin Primacy 5, but with cheaper pricing (better price to performance) However, if you want to step up even further, you can go with Michelin ePrimacy for even better noise reduction. However, price is even higher than the Primacy 5”

“Second set of Turanza 6 on the G70…awesome tyre. Very quiet (have in mind that mine have the B-sil technology), excellent grip in dry and wet (my car is M760e and I do love to push it hard from time to time when on highway or mountain passes) and pretty solid structure for bad roads. Haven’t used the Hankook and can’t say anything about them.”

PS4 isn't quiet like 6i, check in euro website. Turanza 6 (without the i) excels better than ps4”

“I have the Turanza 6, albeit 255/45/R18 (8.5 front & rear) Nothing to compare to other than the OEM 16" wheels with Continentals.”

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
