Tire Recommendations?

When commenting on replacement tire options, please include both noise and range impacts for the new tires. I believe both factors are equally important.

Well I haven’t pulled any sonic tests for frequency distribution and volume

I can say that on a quiet surface (can’t give any composition details) but driving the same tires on interstate (concrete with groves) is on the order of 6+db

My guess is the frequency distribution is in the 2khz - 3.5kh range.

Again these are guesses but if I can remember I’ll try to get some actual measurements and matching photos of the surface

As far as range my agt gets real world 330-350 miles on highways at 70-80. I don’t really have to think about range anxiety. I just drive.
 
I've got the staggered 20" rims and still going strong on the original Michelin tires at 30K. Having different sized front and rear tires is kind of a pain, but I have no complaints about the Pilot Sport EV tires.

These Pilot Sport EVs were put on by Lucid last year before they sold the car. I still have much life left in them.
 
So before I could get any audio testing done on the summer tires I switched to snow tires. No snow but definitely too darn cold for the summer set. Besides I’ll be in France till the end of November so it’ll definitely be cold by then.

I can try for the 19” blizzaks, if I can remember to set up the spectrum analyzer be a drive.
