Just put on a set of brand-new Pirelli 265/40-20 with noise cancelling technology. Essentially one and a half inch thick foam pads glued to the inside of the tire…

Hard to tell how much of the reduction of noise is due to the tires being new or the noise canceling technology; I do believe that the Tech has completely eliminated the "ringing" noise on our very granular South Florida roads and also the impact noise at speeed is greatly reduced.

So for 500 miles: major thumbs up!

All new tires are great, give them 20-30,000 miles and report back.
