The good news is that tyre manufacturers have made life a little easier for customers, as new rules introduced in 2021 mean that all new tyres have to display an EU label which indicates performance in terms of rolling resistance, wet grip and noise.

If you're looking for the quietest tyre available, look for those in your size which carry the lowest rating for noise, measured in decibels (dB). However, it is important to note that the measurement is taken from outside the vehicle, so the improvement in noise levels may not be as significant from the inside.

A quick look on Blackcircles.com shows that Michelin Primacy 4 tyres in your size come with a variety of noise ratings depending on which speed rating you choose, while the lowest dB tyres we could see were the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 and the Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 at 67 dB. We should also say it is unlikely that any tyre is going to reduce the cabin noise by half, so you should expect a modest improvement rather than a total transformation.
