Pirelli Pzeros noisy?

[morrsn]

Hi,

So I’ve just recently driven 10,000 km with my T5 momentum and feel the pzeros on 20 inch rims are extremely noisy at anything over 80kmh.

I know this may be quite the long shot but has anyone else with the same set up changed tires and if so has it made any difference regarding road noise?

Hi, I have never actually owned a pair of p zeros myself, but I've heard that they can be quite noisy, which gets particularly worse the more they wear over time.

However, this is coming from drivers of the likes of cars such as mustangs and 991s, so this oculd be a very different story on a Volvo. I have also read that it varies based on the size of the tyres you fit as well.

Looking on Blackcircles.com (UK tyre supplier), the EU noise rating for the tyre that has the "Volvo" icon for it - 245/45 R20 V (103) is 70dB (or level 2). So it shouldn't be terrible, but it's not as brilliant as it could be. The same site lists a Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 3 SUV ("W", not "V" - so higher rated) that has a decimal rating of 69dB (level 1), so that should be a little quieter.
