Didin't find an answer in my search, but do you guys have a recommendation for quiet, low road noise tires for a convertable? With no top, I'm sensitive to possible road noise.

I don't have a good recommendation for what to get, but I know what not to get. Yokohama Avid H4s. They are LOUD. They are too bad while driving in a straight line, but the slightest bend in the road sends them into banshee mode.

If you find something good, let us know.

I've been happy with my Sumitomo's. My neighbor swears by Michelins.

I've been very happy with Pirelli P-Zero M+S tires.

I have been happy with My B.F.Goodrich tires. I purchased mine at Sams Club.
Also check the ratings at TireRack for noise. I have worked with them also and had good luck.

The quietest tires I've ever had on my 328 were the Continental Contitouring Contacts that came with it. After those I had some Dunlops and they were incredibly loud... I swear by Continentals on my e36.

Thanks for the tips. Amancuso, have also heard good things about Continentals. Need to balance $ and quality. Am committed to find the right set for a convertable and I will let you know. Forgot about Sam's.

I have had good luck so far with sams. I normally stay with my car and try to watch the work...
