    Ford Focus 2009: Tyres for reducing noise

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Focus Ford Focus Advice Ford Focus 2009
    The level of road noise in my 2009 Ford Focus hatchback is very high when travelling on highways at speed. I need to replace the original Goodyear 205/55/R16 91V tyres with new ones and was wondering if you could suggest tyres that would be quieter.

    Michelins have a good reputation for a balance of performance, wear and noise, but it's hard to say they will be any quieter on your car than the Goodyears until you actually fit them and see. Road noise is affected by many factors other than the tyres themselves. Things like the amount noise insulation in the car, the body structure, the suspension mountings to the body. The tyres, while they might have an effect might not provide the solution. I recently drove a new Nissan Tiida and the level of road noise in that car would be unbearable over the long term.
