F Sport: Quiet Tires?
Right now, I have a set of Firestone Firehawk AS's on my 2013 AWD F Sport. These were put on by the previous owner and are practically new, but I can't stand them. There's vibration at 60+ and they're annoyingly loud.
I know what the GS is, and what the F Sport package is about too. Large, wide tires. It's a sport luxury car, and I don't expect it to be whisper quiet like an ES or LS, but it's still a Lexus sedan.
Does anyone have any suggestions for quiet tires that are decent in the snow (I live in the Ohio snowbelt). So far, I've got sights on the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus, but I'd like to hear from you guys before I drop $1200 on new shoes.
Thanks!

Continental DWS is hard riding and as noisy as the Firestones. They roar at high speed on the highway. I just bough a set of DWS from somebody with only 200 miles on them and tried them 4 months ago. I took them off and sold them. I hated them. The person I bought them from warned me about the noise and hard ride, is why they sold them too. The Michelins are the only thing I would run on anything the last 10 years. Michelin is now very expensive which is ok, but they are not like they use to be. For the high price nothing special, and they wear down, and wear out like crazy fast. Way, way to fast.
Been running the Pirelli P7 Plus 2 & 3 the last few years. They are quite, handle great in dry and rain. They are smooth riding and have a very high tread wear ratings of 740 to 800 depending on the size. Unlike most tire that start out new with a 10/32 tread, the P7 starts out with 12/32's new. I ran them on my GS in 245/45/18 with I had the 18" Lux wheels, and they were wider, looked better and handled better with the slightly higher side wall. I now have the 19 F Sport rims staggered but ran 240/45/19 all the way around and love them. Pirelli P7 A+S Plus 3 is the best thing going right now. Unless, you want hard sidewall, Fast wearing, load roaring noise tires.

Appreciate it. Down to two now, but the P7 looks like an amazing tire.

Yes and it's much better from what I heard in a group chat with at least 10+ people with DWS 06 PLUS on different cars (crazy considering how nobody's getting PSAS4). I mean, its rating and price make it a great choice regardless.

My friend in Canada has the Pirelli P7 on his GS 350 AWD and his impression has been that it's a fairly quiet tire with okay traction and poor tread life. Unfortunately, this one doesn't fit the RWD F-Sport model so I will never have the chance to try it out. I guess it's great as a daily driver's choice. Sweet price point as well!
