New Dubber
The car has done 45,000 km. The current tyres are Dunlop Dunlop Sport SP 01 205/60/R15s. At any speed beyond 40 km the tyres are noisy, sounding like the car is running. I have been looking at Michelin Energy XM2s. What replacement tyres would forum members recommend?

Remember that any new tyre is going to be quieter for you due to having a fresh 6mm of tread depth
(If you didn't have power steering you would also notice new tyres give lighter steering feel/effort)
