My 2014 GTC Speed is fitted with the Bentley approved Pirelli P Zeros. These seem to me to have a high level of tyre noise compared to the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx on my previous 2010 XKR convertible, especially with the roof open. Has anyone fitted other tyres and found them to be less noisy and perform well in other respects?

Hated the P Zeros, so put a set of the Dunlop Sportmaxx on the GTC and it transformed the car into almost total silence , the Pzeros were noisy , no grip in the wet and had an annoying resonance at about 60mph .

I'm also looking for new boots on a GT. (new owner)

General consesus seems to be that Michelin Pilot Sport 4 is a good replacement for P Zero.

I did see the Dunlop tyre has lower noise (slightly), I would really appreciate a quiet tyre over one that offers ultimate grip as I don't hoon about in the GT.

Not sure about any other brands. The protyre place always recommend Sumitomo and by Z4 likes Vredestein.
