The Secret to a Quiet Ride

[EricTheCarGuy]

Those of you that have watched my show for any length of time know that I’m a tire junkie. In this video, I explore some of the reasons why. FYI, lately, I’ve been into Nokian tires. I have them on my Element and my van. I like them even more than Michelins.

Sunshade was open in test with old tires, closed with new. That’s likely to have made up the majority of the difference. Good tires vs bad tires or old vs new will certainly make less noise, but those envigors are a pretty decent tire and didn’t seem in that bad of shape. They are probably a little more grip oriented then the Michelin you swapped for though so I can see a few db drop because of that.

Is be curious what the result would be if you could use the meter again with shade open and new tires to see the difference. In my car the shade open makes a substantial difference.
