Most low profile tires are gonna have alot of road noise. My friend has nittos on his car and their not too loud, but he's running 55's instead of 40's.

Try the Pirelli P7000 Supersport, Bridegestone Re-730, and the Dunlop SP9000. I personally had the Dunlops and they were pretty quite. Friend of mine has the Bridgestones and they were quiet compared to other tires. I think you're gonna find some of the more expensive tires will be alittle quieter.

I don't understand why your brother's ride is loud with the Parada's. Myself and several others who compete in auto sound use the Parada's primarily because of the quiet ride. I have always been very pleased with how quiet they are.

Car Sound & Performance did a review on the Falken AZENIS ST-115. He stated at the end it was the quietest tire he as used or tested...and which was designed for car audio.

rule of thumb..higher profile tires allow u to have nice smooth comfort as the higher sidewall cushions but they are softer rubber so it wears out faster(like we can notice..lol)..not much for performance oriented folks like us..performanc tires are harder compound rubber..skip all the techno brands and stick with the basic..b.f goodrich comp TA is cheap and u wont regret ..enough said..PS..my opinion only...
