Asking for 2012 Hatchback tire recommendations. I am replacing all 4, live in a brick lined street area so road noise is important to keep minimal. Thanks!
IMHO, bricks and cobblestones and rough pavement will always transmit noise into the cabin no matter the tire. For my Sonic hatchback I chose traction knowing I could only mount one set all year. I've used the Cooper RS3-A and its successor the RS3-G1 - both excellent. My latest set is the Falken Ziex 960 and so far they're fine. For a touring tire I like the Yokohama Avid (mounted a set on my mother's Subaru Impreza) - trade-off is on the Sonic you'll have quiet highway rolling but no winter grip. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for replying! First time doing this on my own and just clueless. It currently has Bridgestone tires they seem harder to find where I am right now. I appreciate your time!
