2007 Focus Titanium original spec tyres on 18's?

Not sure if anyone can help with this. We've got a 2007 Focus Titanium with the optional extra 18 inch ST rep wheels (like the ones you can get on a Mondeo of the same age).

Problem is that it is really road noisy above 30mph, I'm wondering if it is just down to the tyres. It currently has Goodyear's on all corners 2 of which are due to be changed soon

Anyone know what the original fitment would have been?

I had a 57 plate ST and that came with Continentals. I seem to remember all the tyres I had on that getting louder as they got older.

Goodyears are among the quietest tyre's out there, so not much will change with tyre choice. You could add some sound proofing under the carpet at the wheel arch.

I've had goodyears on previous cars, but these are really noisy

I've had prices on Continentals, I'll probably go for those in the new year.
