I'm in a bright yellow Boxster loaner BTW, it's even got yellow dials! The tyre noise is pretty loud in that, I must say, especially on poorer surfaces, but you really notice the drop in noise when you get onto more recent low noise Tarmac, a big difference.

Goodyear do offer NO rated all seasons, at least in 19", just had them fitted. I found them on Mytyres, my local tyre fitter got them from their trade-only outlet, they came from Germany.Giz9 wrote: βTue Oct 31, 2017 9:58 am When I bought mine, I tested 19's, 20's and 21's and felt the larger wheels/tyres were too noisy for me. I had also found with my previous car that Goodyear tyres were particularly quiet so I was pleased when my Macan turned up with Goodyear.
However, I will be due a new set within the next twelve months and am a bit concerned that Goodyear don't seem to offer a set of all-season, N rated tyres in the UK. I may be faced with a choice of Goodyear summer tyres or some other brand a/s. If that were the case, I would probably choose Goodyear summer tyres. However, I would then be afraid of getting stuck in the snow, mainly due to the embarrassment!

Same thing here: 21 inch winter Michies quieter and softer (no surprise there) than 21 inch summer Michies.Nuclear Nick wrote: βTue Oct 31, 2017 7:16 am My Turbo is currently having its winters fitted. When they went on for the first time last winter I noticed that they were quieter than the summers on the motorway on the trip home. I put that down, at least in part, to the softer rubber of the winters. But I was a little surprised, given the chunkier tread pattern. Both sets are 20", the summers are Michies, the winters Dunlop.
