My mechanic says these are the two quietest P225/50 R16 tires
Which one of these would be a quieter tire? Do you guys have a preference?

Typically any tire with a lower speed rating will be quieter. Higher speed rated tires are usually softer treads and stick to the ground more, and they have harder side walls. This usually means that they are bit less flexible in side wall, making them more harsh on bumps, while being more soft on the treads, making them more noisy on the asphalt. In this case, I think both of these tires are rated H, so equal to each other.

I am going deaf from all the road noise. Litterally
I have an appointment with my mechanic to change my ties and my wheel bearings
