Anybody have a suggestion for a quieter tire for the 2011 Sonata SE? I'm not loving the Hankook tires it came with.

 

I've always been a fan of Kumho tires. What kind of tires are you looking for? High performance, all-season, summer only, touring? The Ecsta LX Platinum are great all-season tires.

 

My preference would be for all-season, as my area only rarely get snow (last year was the exception to the rule). I had Kumho tires on my old Elantra, and I was very happy with them. Do you know if the Ecsta tires you mentioned produce less road noise than the Hankook Optimas that are OEM on the Sonata SE?

 

Reviews on tire rack recommend Kumho Ecsta ASX.

 

Tirerack.com recommends Yokohama avid envigor or continental extreme
contact DWS. Hankook that come with your se have been reported to
be extremely noisy.

contact DWS or yokohama avid envigor for a quiter ride. The go for
about $145 uninstalled.
