Hi
I noticed unreasonable tyre noise from the factory fitted Continental Sport Contact2 tyres on my 2.0 TDI Sportback Sport (225/45 r17 wheels)

Have just changed the front pair at 26000m due to wear, and can report that the Dunlop 9000s are better / quieter. Will put same on rear when they are due for change.
Go to blackcircles.com for great prices and points to your shell drivers club card - much cheaper than Kwikfit etc etc
