Thanks for the info Ned. I'm a fan of Potenza's also - I've had several
sets over the years and for my driving style they're perfectly acceptable.
I have a set on the 240D but talking about tire noise on that car is silly!
But my 91 300D is very quiet and tire noise *is* a factor on it.
Thanks again -
Sincerely,
Larry T ('74 911, '67 MGB, 91 300D Turbo)

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Tire Sizes
Larry:
I suspect brand and type of tire have a lot more influence on road noise
than tire size.
Never owned two sets of tires that were identical except for size. So I
can't tell for sure.
What I can tell you though ..
Michelin Pilot VGTs in 215/60 -15 seemed very quiet.
Dunlop SP - A2's in that same size were ridiculously noisy.
My Potenza's in 205/60-15 are very new. And so far very quiet.
My Nokian 195/65-15 WR are not perfectly quiet, but very acceptable.
