This is about as "sciency" as I got with this, but I knew there was going to be a significant difference. I didn't like the hum of the Goodyears from day one and today I got around to getting new BFG KO2 tires installed. Before removing the OEM tires, I took a db reading at highway speed using an app on my iPhone. No radio on or anything else. The max on the meter represents what was recorded inside. It was a constant 81db hum going down the highway at 65-70mph.
After the swap, same test only now running the BFG tires, and it is a HUGE difference to my ears. Down to a 73-74db while driving. Will be interesting to see if these BFG get louder as they wear. I had a set of Wilkpeaks that did that to me after about 15k miles.
Also, for reference I have a 4-door Wildtrak with hardtop and OEM sound deadening headliner installed.
