What would be the quietest tyre (least road noise) for a B8 MY18 passat 132TSI?
generally do weekend drives, as i dont drive to work - mostly a highway cruiser.
no matter what tyre, does driving on coarse chip road is too loud?
i understand it will be louder, but i feel its higher that what i originally thought would be on a coarse chip road@highway speeds.
Not sure if my passat isnt as tight as others on rubber seals.
i do hear a lot of wind noise in smooth highways.
Dealership gives the usual BS like, "its how it is" , "not hearing anything abnormal" etc.
i am on a factory fitted Pirelli. Done around 7k and rotated once at 5k.
On a side note, when the car is stationary & idling, do you hear engine noise?
I do now, after i switched to 98+ from 7-11 (post 2 tank fulls).
Previously it was BP 98+.
Will try to measure the dB to share here, for some quantitative assessment.
