My wife and I just purchased a 2005 Crossfire coupe. I am 70 years old and we purchased the car for weekend tours and just for fun. I will probably have a lot of questions. The biggest one being what is the quietest tire to use on this car, it is really noisy now with Federals. Anyhow I'll be looking forward to any advice I can get.
Ok, forgot to say we live in Anderson, South Carolina and would be interested in events in our area.

Re: willie4154
Tires.. everyone has an opinion.. LOL. Those who have tried the General G-Max have been very pleased with them.

Your profile doesn't show a location in the upper right hand side.. there are a few places that have regular get-to-gethers ..

Re: willie4154
Welcome and enjoy the car.
As far as tires, as noted before, everyone has an opinion. All performance tires will get noisy with tread wear. Most new tires will be relatively quite. A all season tourig tire may actually be noisier when new than a summer tire due to tread pattern but remain relatively quite later on when a summer tire may get really noisy.
I drive on Michelin Super Sports. Just a couple months old. They are a summer tire an are currently very quiet even at high speed. They are however on the expensive side.
Good luck in your choice. Tell us what you end up with and how they fare.
BTW, you can get on Tire rack and look at the ratings and compare tires on line --- inlcuding traction, wear, comfort, quietness etc..........
