Default Quiet Tires

I own a 2002 S60 2.4 and I'm looking for a very quiet tire. I live in Florida, so snow isn't an issue.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Which size rims do you have?

I myself like Kuhmo tires and they are pretty quiet.

As usual, Tech has a good answer..lol. I have Kuhmo's on one of my cars and love them, quiet and hold the road great plus good milage. I also like Toyo proxies, they are pretty comperable to the Kuhmo's also. I actually have the Kuhmo's on my Audi and used to have some on my truck. I have the Toyo's on my Mustang. The Volvo S80 has Dunlop Qualifiers on it. Wouldn't recommend those, only reason they are one there is my buddy had an extra new set he let go of to me for $100.00

These are what I bought for my car. Mine are supposed to have 45's instead of 40's but I can deal with that. The sidewall is a little shorter.

this might seema little odd considering the other brands that are being recommended here, but we use a lot of michelin's. The ride and wear on them are very good for the price.
