On the subject of tire noise, it is a product of both tire design and tire age. As the rubber hardens over the years it gets a lot noisier. An A/S tire that is 5 yrs old will always be noisier than a fresh summer tire that will be used up in 8k miles. I sorta prefer tires that wear out in 1-2 years for this reason.
