Why would you make a second thread on the same subject, ask the question in your first one?

any tire is better than the wanli.
if you want a reasonably quiet tire, look at the Kumho Ecsta AST or the Yokohama AV-ES100 both quieter than any wanli, and with much better grip. i won't comment on regular passenger tires, because i've never bought any

I have alway found that the user reviews/surveys on tirerack.com to be a vauable tool in choosing a tire, including how quiet a paticular tire is.

you have to take into account who's using the tire too. a tire may be quiet on a BMW but loud on a yaris..

Non the less, I find the user opinions on TR to be very accurate on the average. |

not really accurate, but definitely useful :) the guy with the 240SX who complains that tire-xyz doesn't last is probably drifting on it ;)

Are we to believe that your opinions are not accurate? As I said, I read between the lines and consider the source. Also, if the opions are useful, doesn't that also mean that they are accurate to one degree or another? |

for instance. it is my opinion that the 1nzfe is not worth wasting money on to build up, simply to make power. is it a fact? no. but it's pretty true..

fuzion ZRi, or HRi tires are quiet and cheap...and they look good with cool tread. summer tires tho
also, yokohama es-100 tires are quiet and come in h w and z ratings. they're cheap and good...with a treadwear rating over 400 for a performance tire...that's close to michillen pilot's |
