I’m also researching new tires. I probably have the record: under 17k on the OEM Falkens after 3 years. The dealer is too expensive and I’ve had great experiences at BJs tire center. They don’t sell Continentals at my club so I narrowed it down to Michelin Primacy Tour or Goodyear Assurance Maxlife. The Michelins dont get great reviews due to poor treadwear, which makes sense because other brands use them as OEM. I think I’m going with the Goodyears - there are several members here that have good things to say about them.

Edit: uh oh, just noticed BJs has Michelin CC2s. Everyone seems to love them but I’m worried about road noise with that tread pattern.

NVH is highly subjective, based on the particular sensitivities of every unique individual.

Hi TSiWRX, I completely agree. For additional context, the Ascent is my wife’s car. In 2020 it replaced a 15 year old Altima so it was a big improvement in NVH just based on age alone. As good as the CC2s seem to be, I don’t want to take a chance that she may feel it is less quiet after installing new shoes. I drive a 2007 Mazda6 and am much less concerned about NVH.
