You know I thought about getting something other than the Pirellis. I just had to get new rear tires. I was not even thinking about the sound this thread is about but these tires seem to be noisy. To me anyways. But the mileage on them was amazing. 20000 miles on the rears and the service adviser thought I should keep them for another 3k but we ended up replacing them anyways. The fronts will easily go another 10k per the adviser. Since I was not replacing all 4 I got the Pirellis. Other than them being loud on rough surfaces I have nothing to complain about really.
I agree...they are good tires and if you are only replacing 2, I'd keep them all a matching set. As this thread clearly shows, there is no harm being done to the car or tires, so if you don't mind the noise, there is no need to change tires...

Yeah I kept the stock brand. Ours is a lease anyways so I figured they might care.
Btw, are you guys getting similar milage with you cars? We do live in FL and there are no corners here so I think that helped a lot. Also most of the time my wife was driving the car so that must have been another factor. But 20k and still looks OK is just a lot of miles I think. May be because the car is so light?

Best thing I ever did was recently buy winter wheels/tires (Michelin Alpins too) ... it eliminates this issue in the colder weather and really makes the car more enjoyable ... I can't believe I went through 2 winters without them ... (Actually 4 winters if I count my 997).
