How noisy are the Goodyear F1 supercar tires that the convertible Brembo cars have? I read the reviews on Tirerack, and the noise level comments are less than stellar. I want a set of summer tires and was quoted a really good price on that tire, but I don't want to listen to a bunch of droning on the highway.

 

No complaints, but they wear too **** quick. but I did notice my steamroller 295/30 Toyo Proxes 4Plus are quieter than those were.

 

I've gotten more than 23k out of mine

 

They also come on Brembo equipped coupes, like mine. They're very quiet on the highway. However, I probably still have less than 3K miles on them.

 

They come on Brembo coupes with automatics. The manual cars have the P-Zeros...

 

And I hate the PZeros.

 

Pickup the Michelin Pilot Super Sports and call it a day.

^ THIS will be my next tire!! in a 295 size...

I have the GY Supercar F1 on my car ( The GT500 version, came with my wheels)
I cant stand the noise and they don't grip very well...even at a 285 width!

 

Do you own wheels that a 295 will fit on?

 

Take a look at the BFG Comp 2's or the Conti ExtremeContact DW's.

 

I've had the Conti ExtremeContact DW's in 285/35/19 on the rear, and once they were to about 50% worn, those tires started to get seriously loud, though the traction was pretty good.

 

I looked at the Pilots and the Contis. The main reason I was considering the F1 Supercars is I can get a set of brand new 255/40/19s that will fit my premium nickel wheels for less than $800. It seemed like a really good deal for a tire that goes for about $250 each normally. Plus you get 6 months to pay at the Goodyear store.

I accept that a sticky summer tire will wear relatively quickly. I just don't want a lot of highway noise. These tires will be in storage probably 7 months out of the year, so I should be able to get at least a few years out of them even if they only lasted 15k miles.

I have the crappy P Zero Neros now, and I just want to put a tire on the car that will give it the snap it should have rather than just spinning through 3 gears like grease. Been looking at Brembo pulls off new cars, but people want insane money for them now. Last time I looked you could get a set with nearly new tires for under 1k shipped. Now all the ones I find are way more than that. Then there's always the Shelby pulls... LOL

 

Noise levels of a tire in a convertible mustang. You could put mud grips on a vert mustang and not tell the difference in noise. Just buy a tire that sticks to the road. :geez:

 

I can state as a fact that I've never had one thought about how much noise a tire makes.

 

^This!

 

Yes, mine are the GT500 wheels that are 19x9.5" wide.....it will work fine, but the 295's will be the widest tire I would suggest ever putting on the 9.5" wide rim though.

 

I have a vert with these tires and honestly don't notice any noise from the tires, I do hear the birds, the trucks, the trains, the other cars, .......
Also, I feel like they stick pretty good above 50 degrees , I would not run them in the winter.

 

Will it go on a 9.5 inch rim, yes, should you put it on a 9.5 inch rim, no. You're pushing that tire to do something it wasn't made to do. What size are you specifically going to put on that rim? 295/??/19

 

295/35/19
it will be fine! They do suggest a 10" + wheel...if they required a 10.5"+ then Id say no.

 

Let me put it another way. The difference between 295 and 285 is 1 centimeter. Why stretch a tire onto a small rim for 1 centimeter of rubber? Do you think your car will magically stick better with 2 centimeters of ground rubber?
