Most quiet tire available in the Philippines

[joms]

What would you guys recommend as the MOST QUIET tire that i can buy with the ff consideration:

Given:
My ride - 2004 Ford Escape 2.3L
Tire size - 215/70/16 or 235/60/18
Budget - 3K to 5K per tire

Priority:
1) Noise
2) Noise
3) Lambot ng ride

Note:
a)I do not go off-road whatsoever.
b)I drive mainly in the city. (no provincial drives)
c)Im not after its performance on wet road. I dont drive fast anyway so im more after the sound it produces. The more quiet it is, the better.

Thanks in advance.

Goodyear Fortera 215/70/r16. It's quieter than most previous tires I've had, but I don't know if it's the quietest though. You can try looking for Falken ZIEX S/TZ 04, if it's available here, Falkens are even quieter than Goodyears.

Im actuall yusing the goodyear fortera and im not pleased at all with the noise its making....

gusto ko sana yung tahimik talaga. im not after the performance at all (kung makapit etc etc). just the noise.. =)

[falken]

Try mo na lang yung Falken, yun ang gulong ko nung lumang ride ko, IMO, must tahimik siya kaysa Goodyear.

[jim]

from my experience falken is the most quiet tire I've ever used. ganda pa ng thread wear. goodyears are ok. kumho pinakamaingay!!!!

wala bang model ng tire na made specially to lessen road noise?

[mazdamazda]

hmmm... for SUVs (or that tire size) alam ko walang S&S (smooth & silent) series for Bridgestones.

for passenger vehicles, Bridgestone Turanza ang tahimik... sa 323 namin, GR-80 sa harap and GR-50 sa likod ang gamit.

actually, ang pinaka ok so far in the market is the Goodyear Fortera kung hindi ka mag offroad.

MM, wala bang Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza dyan? I used them to replace the stock tires for my 2003 Mazda Tribute (cousin ng Escape) and they were very quiet and comfortable. Kung wala, try mo na rin kung available yung Dueler H/T.

para sa sizes ng 215/70/R16 and 235/60/R16 walang Dueler H/L dito sa Pinas. pero alam ko yung XUV ay naka Dueler H/L pero 15 inch lang siya.

yung Dueler H/T, hindi rin siya ganun katahimik (compared to the Fortera).

hmmmm seems the goodyear fortera silent armor has a nice review. are the forteras we have here in the philippines already the silent armor model? dang meron pa palang HL edition...

are these available here?

AFAIK, hindi Silent Armor yung Fortera na nandito. magkaiba ang groove patterns ng US-spec and ASEAN-spec Fortera kung mapansin mo. pero Fortera ang pinaka ok so far sa na research ko.

gusto mo research mo yung Dunlop SP9000. alam ko tahimik yan (kasi pang passenger car yun). plus, maganda ang wet and dry traction niyan. si baiskee nagbebenta ng Dunlop tires.

[joms]

err diba yun ang stock tires ng ford escape? (Goodyear Fortera). Naiingayan kasi ako dito.....

Cant i use passenger vehicle tires? Never naman ako mag o-off road.

Someone from another forum board suggested the Michelin Syndrome. Does anyone know if these are silent tires?

I've been very impressed by the Turanza GR80. Very quiet, good grip. Too bad it's for cars only.

[joms]

its for cars lang ba? what will happen if i use them on my ford escape? baka pwede

if you dont go off-roading... passenger tires are ok... look into the oem tires of the new CRV 4x4, they are BFG Traction T/A. it is classified as a passenger tire. i guess, a better guage when looking for tires, is to match or surpass the Load Index of your OEM tires. the GY Fortera 205/70/R15 is rated 96S. the BFG Traction T/A 215/65/R16 is rated 98H. just match it... another area you should look into is the number of plies. the Fortera i mentioned is i think 2ply sidewall + 6 ply thread. the Traction T/A is 2ply sidewall + 5 ply thread. there are tires like the dunlop lm702 215/60/R16 rated 95H but only got 1ply sidewall + 4 ply thread.

try falken. the new lineups are now quieter than ever. not probably the quietest but it is a good M+S and quiet tire for your budget. got mine last december at blumentrit for 3.5K each. and this is the ZE512 225/60/R16 rated 98W 2ply sidewall + 5 ply thread. the BFG Traction T/A goes around 5.5K if my memory serves me right.

OT, if after changing tires and you still find the road noise unbearable, try having your car sound proofed at Ziebart's.

If your priority is Ride Comfort and Low Noise, the best candidates are the following according to TireRack survey:

Goodyear Fortera SilentArmor
Michelin LTX M/S
