540iT Tire recommendations

[tscales]

I have a 2003 540iT. It has 16" wheels, which is fine with me. I am close to needing new tires. It currently has Pirelli P6 All-weather tires that are so loud I sound like a truck driving down the road.

My order of interest is:

1) Quiet
2) Quiet (just to make the point)
3) Handling/Performance
4) Tread wear

I'm sure I missed other considerations.

I ran through the adviser on Tire Rack and it said they had no tires for my car! I was surprised.

Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks,

Tom

One add on. I would love a wider tire, but am not sure what would fit on these wheels and in the wheel wells without rubbing. I'd consider having the fenders rolled if that would make a difference.

You can use either 225/55R16 or the wider 245/50R16 on your stock wheels with no problem.

Among some of the quieter tires in the H rated all season are the Michelin Exalto A/S and Bridgestone Turanza LS-H.
