Tires
Rather than search for old thread, just an update. Finally decided on the Continental PureContact LS (LS version is new). Bought four and got a $70 credit card. Also a free three year protection plan/Roadside Assistance from Continental. They are the top rated in comfort and quiet, which is most important to me.

Let us know about the road noise with these tires! I have about 700 miles on my Pirelli Cinturato all season plus and I think they’re pretty noisy, although better than the factory bridgestones my car had previously.

Will do
As I noted, these are the new LS versions, which Continental says are 50% quieter than the previous PureContacts. Incidentally, they were $200 less than Michelins before the credit card.

Exactly the same with the factory bridgestones. Now I can carry a conversation, but there is still the steady howl of tire roar >50mph. I think I might just be expecting too much of any tire on this w212. I came from a range rover sport that had acoustic glass and weighed nearly 3 tons, that thing was whisper quiet with the Michelin all seasons I put on.
