I want quieter tyres
I just bought a Ford Fiesta 1.6 TDI. It came fitted with Continental Premium Contact 2 tyres, which seem quite noisy.
Do you know of any tyres which would reduce road noise at all?

Depends on the wheel size and tyre profile. If 15" wheels them Michelin Energy Saver. If 16" wheels, then Michelin Pilot Primacy HP. If 17" wheels then swap them for 16".
