- rypskar 3y ago>Snow tires are known to be louder Studded snow tires are louder than other tires, snow tires without studs are softer than normal tires so less noise. Modern snow tires without studs are surprisingly good on ice, which is the only place studded tires can compete. Noise levels is one of the things tires are rated by, but a quiet tire would normally require a softer compound and softer compound wears out faster than harder tires
- djaychela 3y agoYes there are - new tyres are rated in the EU (and still used in the UK) for noise, as well as wet grip and fuel efficiency. [1] [1] - https://www.kwik-fit.com/tyres/information/tyre-labelling https://www.kwik-fit.com/tyres/information/tyre-labelling
