Default Quiet tires recommendations

Looking for some recommendations for quiet tires for my Crossfire. I’m using the original stock rims front and back. What I have on now are extremely loud tires, so I’m hoping to find the best quiet tires for the best comfortable low noise tires. Thank you all for your help Richard.

The Barum Tires I have on my Crossfire are good performers & relatively quite. Barum is owned by Continental & produced in Europe. I bought mine from Discount Tire. They can be hard to find sometimes.

I"ve had Hancooks on my last three roadsters - probably bought 6, 7 sets since 2009. They are quiet and grip rather well.
What Valk recommended is a more expensive tire and would be worth the extra dollars.

I like the Michelin Pilot Sport. Expensive but a great tire.

I too am now running Bridgestone Potenza All Season all around. Had them on the front when I got the car and just put them on the rear a few a weeks ago replacing what was there (can't remember what they were). Much quieter. Not ultra high performance tires but my wife doesn't drive the car like a hellion. My XF is a daily driver and I like all season tires in Virginia. Supposedly the Potenza will hold up longer delivering higher mileage before replacement but, of course, that does come at the price of losing some performance if you do drive your XF like a hellion.

I run the Good Year Eagle F 1 All Season tire. Another excellent choice would be the Michelin Pilot Sport.

Falken Azenis FK510. This is a summer tire however, as with all summer tires you shouldn't drive in any weather below 30F or risk damaging the rubber.

Pretty quiet in almost all road conditions and excellent ride and performance characteristics.

I like the sidewall profile, not cool modern square like Michelins, but also not double the price either. I have aftermarket wheels, however the size of both the wheels & tires are factory...

I would not drive the car in temps below 40°F as the traction is terrible. It is bad at 40°F on a summer tire as the rubber gets too hard.

I agree, I wouldn't want to drive below 40F. However, tire damage is usually quoted at 20F or lower with summer tires, I mentioned 30F as the lowest you can operationally before damage, though likely unsafe due to lack of grip.
