need tire suggestions

need to find a good quiet tire. Have tried a few and have yet to find a good one.

I work for a tire shop and have for 10 years almost, but I cant find a good quiet tire on the hhr. I have pretty crappy roads all asphalt and I cant even hear myself think.

I wont ever put a goodyear tire on my vehicles ever again never once have I had any luck with them and working somewhere that sells them and all the problems they have. Falken is an ok tire but I have never been told they were quiet.

i have had good luck with michelins. i have only had my HHR for a month, but if i keep it until i need tires i will buy michelins.

also, the noiseproofing on the hhr could be a lot better.

My father-in-law has a set of Falken Ziex ze-912's on his car and says they're fairly quiet

I might try a different michelin but I am debating on selling my 17's and getting some 16's for more tire choices. I was going to go 18's but this thing is so loud I cant stand it anymore. I have 3 boxes of dynomat to put in.

I put Navigator Touring Golds on a few months ago. They are quiet and are excellent in the rain. So far I'm very pleased.

You can have that done at your local dealer. I had mine done all across the bottom when I had my rust proofing done.
