Quietest tire for 2017 Honda CRV?
Quiet and smooth ride are top priorities for me. Haven't test-driven yet, but supposedly the new 2017 Honda CRV is much quieter than previous models. Even so, if/when I buy one I'd like to include in the deal an upgrade to the quietest replacement tire I can get at the Honda dealer. The originals are HanKook. Soliciting recommendations.

Go to tirerack.com, pull up your vehicle, and then compare as many different tires as you want that fit on it.
Consumer surveys on this website will rate each tire on multiple criteria, including the two that are most important to you.

Also, know that OEM tires on not-bottom-of-the-line vehicles are specifically mated to the model and often compensate for ride/noise/handling limitations of the vehicle. My non-OEM tire "upgrades" for an older CR-V were all disappointing, irrespective of the wonderful CR and TireRack reviews.

Re: Quietest tire for 2017 Honda CRV?
If quiet is important to you, make sure you read extensively online about the noise issues with the CRV's CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission).
After reading hundreds on posts online we concluded we were unwilling to gamble that the issue seen with 2015-2016 models is not present in 2017.
Honda does seem to be using active noise reduction in the 2017 model which should help reduce perceived noise. Perhaps the 2017 will finally resolve the issue...it was just not a gamble we will take.

Tirerack.com is generally excellent, however since Goodyear started selling tires on their own website they have prohibited Tirerack from listing Goodyear products any more. Check out the Goodyear Assurance Comfortred Touring tire, assuming they are available in the correct size for your CRV. We just had a set installed on a 2008 Honda Odyssey (which is well-known for letting a lot of road noise in) and the noise reduction difference over the Michelin Defenders they replaced was truly startling. The Defenders were no slouch either.Loik098 wrote:Go to tirerack.com, pull up your vehicle, and then compare as many different tires as you want that fit on it.

NO... Listen to me, please. Have a body shop perform two hours of work and take out your front wheel well liners (the plastic liners that surround your front tires. Simply apply this https://www.amazon.com/Dynamat-11102-Dy ... amat+liner to the rear-side of each liner and then have the liners placed back on the vehicle. I did this job myself on my 2017 CRV and the car is literally coffin quiet now. Regardless of how badly graded the roads here in Texas are none of the noise is transferring into the cabin. Replacing your tires will not net you anywhere near the same level of noise reduction.
Re: Quietest tire for 2017 Honda CRV?
Interesting suggestion. Why not apply it to all four tires? Could it be used just as effectively on the doors?Carpentermaass84 wrote:NO... Listen to me, please.

Re: Quietest tire for 2017 Honda CRV?
Just a little FYI- usually for those types of vehicles, car tires are the quietest while truck/SUV tires are the best for handing if you have AWD. So, if you go with a quieter tire you may not have the best traction in bad weather.

Re: Quietest tire for 2017 Honda CRV?
Diminishing returns? I'd guess the proximity to the driver makes noise coming from front wheels more significant than rear. You could add them to the door as well. I'd like to know which is more effective. There's always going all out and doing everything including the floor, headliner and engine.Loik098 wrote:Interesting suggestion.

+1. I can't remember when I last bought tires without thoroughly researching on tire rack.com first (and I've bought from tirerack.com more than half the time.Jim Profit wrote:Tirerack.com is generally excellent, however since Goodyear started selling tires on their own website they have prohibited Tirerack from listing Goodyear products any more.

And it so happens we had/have Goodyear Assurance Comfortred Touring tires on my wife's car. They were so good I just replaced with the same. The first set went 60K miles - probably would have gone another 10K+ but I don't take chances with my wife's car. Happy wife, happy life.

Re: Quietest tire for 2017 Honda CRV?
First car I did this job on I modified the doors first and barely noticed any difference in perceived road noise. The amount of labor involved did not justify the end result. I bought a 2012 E class a few years back (complete turd) and deadened the rear-wheel wells under the impression that a majority of the road noise would come from the trunk, backseat. Once again I hardly noticed a difference. Following the advice a sound tech at a car accessory shop I did the same to my front wheel wells and I immediately noticed a DRASTIC (%50+) reduction in road noise. Total cost to me for the front wheels - $250. I spent in excess of $700 having Primacy MX4's installed and they didn't produce anywhere near the same level of noise reduction.inbox788 wrote:Diminishing returns?

Re: Quietest tire for 2017 Honda CRV?
What are the chances of taking a new car into Discount Tire and getting a good deal on swapping out the OEM tires for a set of Michelins? Do they do such a thing?

Re: Quietest tire for 2017 Honda CRV?
There's no doubt that a vehicle that lacks sound deadening insulation can benefit from a product like DynaMat. I installed it myself in a Miata to correct a resonance that bothered me. The process can be hit or miss, and it is not inexpensive if not doing it yourself. I have yet to see an instance where a quality set of tires, when replacing a noisier, generally lower grade tire, didn't help quiet the road noise in a vehicle. I prefer Michelin, but Pirelli and Continental have some decent tires. In most cases the premium tires can also provide superior driving characteristics (particularly wet weather)--that's a double win for just a marginal price increase over the lesser tire. Tire replacement is a necessity at some point, in my opinion it's not a place to cheap out.

The OEM tires could be whisper quiet, or just as quiet as any other replacement tire on the market.
Why not figure this out first by actually driving the car, before pursuing this plan of replacing the stock tires.

I use these as guidelines, but with about a point difference on the top end, I wouldn't expect too much difference practically. You might notice a difference, but I think that's probably about all.

Hi, did you ever find quiet tires?
Re: Quietest tire for 2017 Honda CRV?
Ive had michelin defenders on 3 cars, and theyre somewhat quiet, but wear poorly.
I have Cooper CS5 grand touring on one vehicle. These tires are now my standard for quiet tires.

I have no experience with Discount Tire; however, a local tire distributor in my area does accept OEM tires as trade ins. I have never made such an exchange, but I have purchased several sets of OEM tires that were trade ins. I usually paid a little over half of the retail price of the OEM tires. BTW, those tires always had less than 1,000 miles on them.

Re: Quietest tire for 2017 Honda CRV?
I can't make a specific recommendation but my experience is that longer lasting tires tend to be more noisy. I had some 75,000 mile Michelins on my Honda Pilot and they were very noisy. And they got even louder as they aged and the rubber hardened even more. Got some inexpensive Goodyears and the difference was amazing. Tire Rack is good for recommendations
Re: Quietest tire for 2017 Honda CRV?
I can speak from experience that Cooper touring tires are very quiet and comfortable. They were a little pricey but well worth the money in my opinion.
Re: Quietest tire for 2017 Honda CRV?
Cooper road tires are very quiet. I've also had good luck with Toyo. Extensa, Celcius.
A budget friendly quiet tire is Milestar M932. I buy them on eBay and have them installed/balanced at a local shop. Smooth, quiet ride.
I do not like Michelin tires. Perhaps the Primacy is legit. I find them too hard, they wear terribly and the ride is harsh. I know I shouldn't generalize across the different Michelin models.

Re: Quietest tire for 2017 Honda CRV?
So, if you paid about half for tires with less than 1000 miles on them (which is about what I would expect - certainly no more than 2/3 of the price as new), that suggests that the tire store paid the original owner no more than half of that amount, or 1/4 of the price new. I can't imagine taking my brand new car to a tire store and getting 25 cents on the dollar for the four new OEM tires. I would really have to hate the OEM tires to take that financial hit, especially since OEM tires tend to be at least OK in most respects, if not better.Dead Man Walking wrote: ↑Thu Aug 24, 2017 9:06 pm I have no experience with Discount Tire; however, a local tire distributor in my area does accept OEM tires as trade ins.

I'm not saying people don't do this, especially performance seekers who want the stickiest summer performance tires instead of the OEM all-season tires. I am just not one of those people.

Re: Quietest tire for 2017 Honda CRV?
+1 that tire noise is largely related to type of tire. If your usage requires an off road type tire, ALL manufacturers product will be noisy. On the other hand applying a product such as DynaMat will provide noise reduction across all tire types. I am familiar with DynaMat on older hobby cars for noise and heat reduction, it would never have occurred to me to use on a new daily driver.
Re: Quietest tire for 2017 Honda CRV?
Bridgestone Turanza. I used them on our old RX, made the ride quiet and comfortable. We were coming off of Coopers and had no problem with those either, but the Bridgestones were cheaper and longer lasting at the time.
On the other hand, never EVER get Yokos. I have those on my camry hybrid and they are the worst tires. High rolling resistance, high road noise, only average grip. However, the tread is lasting a pretty long time on them.

I found the turbo-charged engine in the 2017 CRV to be loud enough in the cabin that I decided to not buy the car. This was on a Touring model.

Re: Quietest tire for 2017 Honda CRV?
I don't think changing tires will give you any noticeable increase in quietness and comfort.

If quiet and smooth ride are your top priorities, you're looking at the wrong car. You must have other priorities that make you consider the CR-V. Have you considered any of those cars: Lexus RX350, Cadillac XTS, Mercedes E550, BMW 5 series?
