continental tyres eco contact 3

[deggers316]

hello
a few weeks ago i bought a full set of Continental eco contact 3s as they had the best write up for my type of car (small saloon) however from day one the gave awful road noise even louder than the engine on a lots of surfaces but even on a smooth road it's more noisier than before and at 40mph it sets up a resonance i can feel in the pedals, before i take it back to see if anything can be done by the company i got them off has anyone else had this experience with this type of tyre.
help appreciated

i usually go for budget tyres but as they were getting near replacement i thought for once id go for some new good spec tyres, whether the fitter will swop new handbrook s for my new tyres with 1 months wear is another thing

check out mytyres.co.uk. they give a rateing of how various tyres perform such as ;
grip under dry conditions
braking in dry conditons
grip in the wet
braking in the wet
comfort
NOISE LEVEL INTERNAL
NOISE LEVEL EXTERNAL
tyre wear
my own tyres are 205/45/16 and i think hankook k104 tyres are probably the best for my car
