Dunlop SP9000 tires are F##KING LOUD..!
i've got SP9000s on my E55 AMG, 245/40/18 and 275/35/18. whenever i'm on the highway, these tires drone pretty damn loud. they almost make a constant thumping sound, like when the tires have a flatspot but the ride is smooth.
the fronts have 80% of tread and the rears about 60%. what are some quieter tires? i want a set that can also do OK on light snow.

well no summer tire will do ok on any snow
once temp goes below 42F or so all summer tires loose about 50% traction due to the tire compound becoming harder
needless to say tire life will be decreased if used in temps like that
you can either go with all season tires, but then you'd loose performance compared to summer tires
or you can have a dedicated snow tire setup for winter, that'd be ideal setup if in snow climate
your tires might be loud because they are getting bald, stop burning out so much man
