need input on GY Tripletred, Yoko Avid Envigor, & Conti Purecontact
I've narrowed down my top 2 choices for my wife's RX300 coach ed with RX330 wheels to the goodyear tripletred and yokohama avid envigor based on price/performance in dry/wet but not winter since I have dedicated winter tires on the stock 16" wheels.
The GY is better than the Yoko but I'm a bit worried about the noise per posts on the web. I currently have BGF 245/55/18s and they are loud after some miles.
Any input on the GY tripletred noise?
My other choice is the Conti Pure contact with ecoplus tech its a lot more $$ but its a really light tire at only 24 lbs. (advantage of lower unsprung weight) so if you are using this tire let me know how you like it and I might just pay the extra $$.
Thanks!

I really apologize for not commenting in this sooner. I have posted in your other thread:

The EcoPlus technology in the Continental Pure Contact will be the big deciding factor. 7 pounds per corner is huge weight and you will feel this when driving.
I would expect the Continental to have a better ride quality and would also expect it to perform a little better in wet weather conditions, if that is a concern.
Directional tires (like the Goodyear Assurance Triple-tread) in general tend to get loud. Also, you can only rotate the tire front to rear, which will impact tread life considerably.

Yeah, when I first saw the weight of the tire, I thought maybe TR recommended the wrong tire and these tires are meant for cars and won't be sturdy enough for an RX. I've had some magnesium 3-piece wheels coupled with light tires and the savings on weight DO make a difference!
Thx again!
