They are quieter than the stock Dunlop 2050m that come with the base Euro. But there are other tyres on the market that are much quieter. I think even the RE040 which comes on the Lux model is quieter than RE001. RE001 is not meant to be a quiet tyre anyway.
I recommend you get a ride on someone elses Euro with RE001 before you decide. Just in case your standard for quietness is higher than the rest of us.
I think his standard of quietness is pretty high and i totally understand him especially when he came down from a aurion... i came down from a 380 to a mazda6 and to a euro and i think big car espeically with the V6 is really quiet and even with noisy tyres its still quiet... it is quite sad for me to sit in a 03' camry and say to myself damm this car is half the price as mine but its quieter... damm...
Sorry to be off topic slightly since we are talking about NA Auto 4cyl cars, but............
Heheh...I went from 6pd Euro 06 Lux to a 07 Mazda 6 MPS...........still miss my Euro...for everyday driving...more progressive clutch pedal feel, but can't live without the performance and handling of the MPS....hmmm if only they could put Turbo AWD with the Euro and there's my next car!
I know exactly what you mean!!!
I wanted to get a Subi liberty GT-B, but the missus couldn't justify the extra $25k or so.
Im sure everyone else here wants a turbo too.
i love the handling of the euro, i found the mazda a little boaty in corners, but having the traction control off in the euro at reasonable speeds the euro is so great and predictable to drive, i can loose complete traction of my front wheels and understeer into a corner and still be in complete control, the only scary thing the euro has ever done 2 me was once going into a corner sharply the back flung out but the traction control snapped it back in.
my only true criticism of the euro is the huge amount of wheel hop when launching, and the bodyroll at high speeds
All fixed with the CU2.
No body roll, and grip. Soooo much grip!
