Default Tires ??

OK so now i know what rims i'm buying for my is250sport(rezax universal) Now the next step is WHAT TIre do i put on these rims?? i'm planning to put front 235/35/19 on 8,5/19 and rear 265/35/19 on 9,5/19 rim. is it true that a V-profile makes more noise. Is a contisportcontact2 a better choise?? On my is200 i have the good-year eagle f1

"V" has nothing to do with the profile, it is the speed rating. Tire noise is a result of tread pattern and to a very minor extent construction

edualc is talking about a V profile on the tire, not the speed index

What i want is that my car with the 19" is not too hard and too noisy because i will lower the car if i see that it looks not sporty enough.Looks is more important than superhard driving

then you want some quiet tires. personally i only know about high performance, and i think teh michelin a/s, michilen ps2, and perelli pzero nero, they are very comfortable, soft, and quiet tires
