New tyres fitted

[ALAW]

Well i finally did it. Ive gone for the Hankooks few of us on here have discussed them some have even had them fitted. Just got two and put them on the rears. Ill be ready for fronts come late spring i reckon. So im not going to say they are any quieter than the Bridgestones i dont know if ill notice 4 or 5 decibel difference. They look the business im happy with the purchase i paid £171 a tyre. Current mileage 24k.

5 Decibel is a Huge reduction as 1 Decibel reduces noise by 100% in theory.

Every 3 dB increase doubles the loudness. It's logarithmic.

although humans need around 10 dB difference to perceive something twice as loud.

Just got rid of my terrible run flats, have replaced them with Goodyear efficient grip 2 what a difference! My UX is the 2023 premium sport and it’s incredible how hush the car is now, it drives better and no thumps on bad roads, I paid £167 each.
