Not All Tires Are Created Equal. It Could Just Be The Tires. Tires Vary In Traction (Dry, Wet, Ice, Snow) Wear, Comfort (Ride), Noise, Price, Etcetera.
If you’ve got a relatively quiet car and put noisy tires on it then you will really notice it, especially if you took off quiet ones. I drive a Bonneville and appreciate a quiet, comfortable ride.
Some folks buy their tires from companies like Tire Rack online. Tire Rack has reviews on many tires and will often tell you about the noise level of certain tires.
Here’s a link to some quiet tires listed by Tire Rack.
