Noisy Continental Tyres?
Hi All. Earlier in the year I bought a one year old XC60 (My19) and on the whole I'm very pleased with it. I previously owned a 2011 Mk1 XC60 (DRive) but the newer one is a D4, 4wd, auto and very relaxing to drive.
However, I'm quite disappointed with the road noise especially on some noisy motorway roads. It seems quite a lot noisier than the old car. This car has Conti EcoContact 5 on 235/60R18 and I guess they are hard which helps with fuel economy (previous car was 235/65/R17 and I tended to have Cont CrossContact tyres I think). Does anyone else feel the same about the road noise? Has anyone changed tyres and noticed a reduction in the road noise?
