What was the dB difference, are we talking like 1 or 5? And I agree about kick up, my summer ones sound like I'm shaking a tin can full of rocks on some of the roads near me, my mudguards are doing some heavy lifting . I didn't realise all season would reduce that.All the summer tires we've tested are noisier than their all-season counterparts. Not to mention the really low treadwear ones kick up a lot of rocks.
It's emphasized in the cabin due to the lack of motor noises.

Dependent on the tire in comparison. These are natural characteristic trade-offs. The stickier the compound, the more it's "glued" to the road, therefore picking up rocks and debris along with making more noises.What was the dB difference, are we talking like 1 or 5?

How about Michelin Pilot Sport 4S vs Michelin Primacy MXM4?All the summer tires we've tested are noisier than their all-season counterparts. Not to mention the really low treadwear ones kick up a lot of rocks.

@enemji Those two should have a clear, obvious difference in stickiness at warmer temperatures (above freezing at least). MXM4 are pretty terrible for grip and performance, even compared to many allseasons. PS4S is a well regarded "max performance" summer tire, the top category of street-focused performance tires.How about Michelin Pilot Sport 4S vs Michelin Primacy MXM4?
Thanks but I was looking for road noise comparison between the two.@enemji Those two should have a clear, obvious difference in stickiness at warmer temperatures (above freezing at least).

(I have firsthand experience with the MXM4 and with PS4S competitors + predecessor.)
Primacy MXM4's are significantly quieter.How about Michelin Pilot Sport 4S vs Michelin Primacy MXM4?
Thanks for that feedback. The MXM4 noise is unbearable compared to the Kinergy GT.Primacy MXM4's are significantly quieter.

One more thing to note, some tires can get significantly noisier as they wear down.Thanks for that feedback. The MXM4 noise is unbearable compared to the Kinergy GT.
