When I had my D4’s, I ran with 4 different tyres. Pirelli, Michelin, Goodyear and Goodyear SCT.
Pirelli were the most fuel efficient, Michelin were noisy, but long lasting, Goodyear were quiet, but not that long lived and Goodyear SCT even quieter, but again not long lived. D4’s do suffer from a little more tyre noise, so for me it would be Goodyear SCT all day long, as the slight reduction in noise was worth it.

I'm on 19's but would also dismiss the Goodyear Eagle F1 as they didn't last well.
I switched to a set of Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 last time and I am very happy with them. A lot cheaper than the Goodyear and have done way more miles. No issue with noise and plenty of grip. |

I bought a pair to try on the front of my D2 and couldn't agree more about their performance , I selected them on the basis of wet performance , compounding and noise how did they produce such a good product in such a short time ? same way as bridgestone ....head hunt their top technical people from the majors |
