Got some tyres on the front of mv that seem very noisy at low speed  They were the ones already fitted when i bought it "Victra Maxis" 



Seem to be far too hard compound  Any recommendations for a softer low noise set ?

Impressive tread pattern.

Simple... Drive faster

Directional tyres, hence the noise. Plus Chinese rubber is never quiet.

My new Winter tyres do seem to have a bit of a high pitch hum at around 45mph, nothing too bad, they are rated at 71db which seems pretty average............

Emd, imo goodyear hydragrips are well suited to Uk weather for all seasons except snowy/icy surface but they are noisy too

Due to a puncture one Easter Saturday I was forced to accept a pair of Maxis for the font of my old Elite.

I can honestly say they were the nosisest tyre I have ever driven on and after less than 2k I got them removed and replaced witha set of Pirelli P Zero,s.

Maxis imho are horrible and whilst the tread pattern looks very "cool"  I would never ever have them fitted again ....even if it ment missing a few days away over Easter

That was along the lines i was thinking so thanks for that

Yep , as soon as they wear down ill fit something similar like the Pirelli .. With tyres its hit and miss although i noticed they have a noise rating included 
Trouble is , once tyres are bought thats it .. cant take them back if they are noisier than first thought 
Did you notice a difference in sound when you fitted the Pirelli's Amba ?

Are these the correct tyres on the front 235/45 ZR17 

[TheBoy]

Are these the correct tyres on the front 235/45 ZR17 

235/45/17 with a speed rating of Z, W or Y and a load index of 93 or higher is the official spec for 17" rims fitted to Omegas.

Cant remember what tyres i had on the elite but they were very quiet , Kumo or something  Im finding tyre choice a minefield ..  Dont seem to be much difference between high/low price tyres when it comes to db rating
