+1. I had both and don't notice any noise. Plus, it's a great all-season tire.

C300
Continental DWS06 seems to have good reviews and long durability, guess I'll try those next tire change.

Have Mich Pilot Super Sports on my other car and are quiet as well.

Hello again. Just got my car serviced, 25,000 miles. Said I would need new tires within a year. Geez, I only drive about 6,000 miles a year. These Continental tires didn't last long and they are noisy.

Any new suggestions? Would need an all weather tire as I am in Ohio.

Have you looked at the tread yourself? I have been amazed by the dealers determination of tire life when they do their "free 100 point inspection"...it's often laughable.
If you're going through the tires that quick, then it's an alignment issue, not a tire issue. Noise may be from feathering or cupping the tires which is a definite alignment issue.
