test pipes are completely different. i have a set on my car so i speak from my first hand exp. the noise level for the most part can be controlled your throttle input. screaming loud tires at speeds 40> just cruising sux but maby i just need wheel bearings
My 17" winter tires Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 are kind of loud, they make a "whirring" sound when I get around 60 mph. My 19" summer tires Toyo T1-R aren't too loud if I remember correctly.
I had Toyo T1-S on my lm-gt4's. The ride was quiet, good grip in dry weather, and they were amazing in wet weather! The sidewalls felt a little soft, but overall performance great. I went through 2 sets. I think Toyo has since replaced the T1-S with the T1-R.
I have BFG KDW2's on my stock wheels and Michellin PS2's on my Volks. I dont really notice any difference between the 2 let alone any noise at all. No matter what tires you have, they are all going to make noise, there is no way to avoid it. I dont pay attention to the noises my tires make because I dont really care, its just part of driving. I usually have the radio on anyway so i cant even hear them. Unless you are purposely listening for tire noise, which imo is dumb, your not going to hear anything. If you have a problem with road noise make your car sound proof or something.
That is all
That is all
