looking for car tires that may help with road noise/shopping at Costco Tire Center

In the past I would get my tires done at Firestone or NTB/Mavis, but now that I have a Costco membership and my tires are on their last bit of tread all around, I'm wondering what H&G thinks about the Costco Tire Center.
Almost 10 year old sedan in decent shape, hoping that just having 4 new tires would be a massive reduction in road noise but if there are tires built better for road noise.

On the Bridegstone website it appears I can only fit Potenza/Turanza/WeatherPeak/Ecopia/DriveGuard/Blizzak.

If you're going with Bridgestone, get the Turanza. The Potenza's are a high-performance tire. Michelin also makes a decent tire.

I think it's excellent. I get all my personal vehicle tires there. Best price, honor the appointment times, etc.

I've no complaints from getting tires from Costco and do my best to wait until the go on sale "4 for the price of 3" type promotion.
As for tire noise, I find almost all standard road tires are pretty much the same. I once rode with a friend in his 4 wheel drive truck and the tire noise was irritating with the aggressive tire grip, but you're not putting that on a sedan.

In addition to choice of tires, I might also suggest you apply some undercoating to your fender wells. Everyone used to do that when I was growing up.

I've been buying from Discount tire direct lately. They are the same company with Tire Rack and you can buy and schedule online.
They include road hazard for free but they do try to push the "certificates for replacement" which is essentially tire insurance. Just decline that.
Most locations have the nicest and newest tire machines. They even mount and balance my 20" Vette tires and wheels along with my wifes Toyota Sienna minivan.
On her minivan we have had good luck with Goodyear Assurance Finesse. A middle of the road touring all-season tire.

Just worship the Costco gods again and ask them. They are omniscient, as all Costco products and services are. Hail the almighty Costco! He is the God in the Machine, the Source of All Knowledge.

No notes on the specific tires, but I've used Costco to buy my tires the last 8 years and have been happy with them. They have the lowest prices each time I've shopped around, and I had peace of mind after buying the tires if something happens on the road.
Last time I bought new tires I ran over something in the road that week and the tire was destroyed. Went back to Costco and paid $4 for a replacement.

I’ll never buy tires from anywhere else.

I’ve been using discount tire and I’ve been happy but Sam’s has free installation this month. I need new tires on my SUV and I think I’m going back to Sam’s this time.

I got the standard BF Goodrich road tires for the wife's little Jeep Cherokee back in November. They run just fine and don't have too much tire noise as did the last BF Goodrich tires I had on the car. But as others have said, unless you go bottom of the barrel on cheapness most of them will have similar noise.
