    I am thinking of changing my two front tyres, Just can't figure out which ones out there to buy.

    I would definitely spend on premium tyres don't want to go cheap this time.

    I've found Michelin primacy 4 are an excellent tyre. Nice and quiet on my Astra. Also good grip when pulling out from junctions in wet conditions

    Is that an all weather tyre?

    All tyres by law have a noise rating. All brands have multiple tyres, just check the noise rating.

    As above the 3 criteria are grip in wet with A rating best. Fuel efficiency on same scale and noise in decibels.

    Any good tyre place will have those stats off the top of their head. Just bear in mind that a lot of noise is engine, other cars etc and the noise insulation of the car plays a big part, and you cannot change that.

    Yep, you are definitely right with other noises you mentioned but even just a small change like the tyres will probably make a bit of difference on my driving experience.

    Michelins overall are good for low tyre noise.

    Goodyear efficient grip performance is a silent make/model I used on a focus mk2(which has no noise insulation at all)
