Anybody else find the stock ContiProContact tires noisy
I had Michelin Pilot Super Sports on my old CLS, and they were wonderful. These Continentals are really noisy. On harsh pavement they fill the cabin with
a deafening drone. I am considering replacing them, even though they only have about 1000 miles on them.
Anybody else notice this? Did you replace them?

I have Conti as well and I do not find them noisy. They are not as quiet as some grand touring tires I had, but they are not noisy to the point where I would even remotely consider replacing them due to road noise.

I think the Conti Pro Contacts are good when they are newish. But after 15-20k miles, they get pretty noisy. Not unique to Conti though. I had an old set of Pirelli's on another car and they were pretty bad after 20-25k miles.

I second that, Conti does get noisy when old. I think the worst tire when it comes to age is Goodyear, they are horrible as far as noise and traction after 15K miles or so.
