I just recently had my winter Michelin PA4S tires on my P3D+ 20 in rims swapped back for the OEM Pilot Sport 4S summer tires. I also had one slightly bent rim fixed. Oh boy - the road noise from the Pilot 4S tires is just *so much more pleasant*. Perhaps on average the dB meter might not be so different. But the Alpins had an unpleasant drone at speed on smooth surface (that may have warbled a bit due my bent rim).
When the tires are wear out, I'm going to struggle. I love the handling and the zoom. But the 20 inch wheels are kind of egg shells vs. Michigan pot holes and are loud and inefficient. I'm kind of inclined to buy TSportline 18 in. wheels with the stock MXM4 and get efficiency or maybe Conti DWS6. I had those on my Audi and they worked fine for my winter.
