Default Michelin Pilot Sport Tire noise-Help

I still have plenty of tread left on my Michelin pilot Sport tires on my 17"rims but get a lot of tire noise. The noise increases when i come to stop at about 20mph. I bought these tires used but the were not old. I love the way they grip on turns and braking but the noise has people asking me if something is broken when they hear it. I dont want to get rid of these tires yet because they have a lot tread left. What tire can i use that is not loud, I was considering the B-stones so-3. What else can I try with out changing tires just yet to get rid of the noise. Thanx in advance.

Are you sure the noise is coming from your tires and not your brakes? I have Michelin Pilot Sport A/S's on my '91 LS400 and they're fine.

only if you've been hard on them,

i have the Mich-pilot sport and i have never heard no tire sound,
my P210 snow's on the other hand, i can say is that "if your hard on them, they will do that" because its a soft compound and heat screws it up.
