This is for an 81 528i. It's a 4-door family car, and I need a quiet tire with long life under the $100 mark in 215/45-17. Which do you recommend for lower noise and longer life (Warranty is also a factor!)? Or is there another tire you suggest? TIA, Josh

The Kumho tire would be better for what you are looking for. The Bridgestone if you were lookinf for better handling would be the better way to go. The Kumho tire in our testing was quiet with a good ride quality and decent handling. The tire also has a 280 treadware rating and AA traction in wet weather. If I can help let me know. Thank you Jim 800-428-8355 ext 364
