Michelin pilot 4s - loud.

I replaced my stock tires with these and although they perform amazing and have incredible dry traction. I find them to be extremely loud. The road noise these things translate is awful. Honestly think its worse then the stock good years.
Anyone have any recommendations for a quiet riding good performing tire.
Not sure ill be keeping these ps4's.

I'm very satisfied with the change from stock to PS4S and to me they are quieter than stock GY run flats.

Some road surfaces all tires are going to make noise. I haven’t noticed any excessive noise from my ps4s. What pressure are you running?

They are 31 or 32. New York roads are surely not the best, however the roads around me are better then average. I find these tires loud.

I don't know maybe ill just do an exhaust upgrade. Maybe that will take my mind off these noisy tires.
Everything else is great with these tires though.

Road surface has a lot to do with road noise.

So does anyone have recommendations to an ultra quiet tire?
I daily drive my Z and just want it super plush quiet. Except for some exhaust grunt of course.

I used the Continental Extreme Contact DW (summer only tire) on my 16' Camaro SS. They wear well and are quiet or at least quieter than the GY F1s. They are also cheaper than the PS4S.

To a very solid point youve got the absolute wrong kind of car here for that. I couldn't fathom taking 650 and putting a DWS6 under it. It's all relative what's noisy for one person, or not, but as I say to a point this is just being silly.
