    Guys hi, I’m new to the forum and hope you can help

    I’ve got a 2015 FF which I love, however I find the road noise on some surfaces a bit annoying so I’m considering a rubber swap from the standard P zeros

    Has anybody had experience of other tires, specifically from a road noise perspective? I’ve seen a few posts where people have swapped to Michelin Alpins or SottoZero but not seen any comments about how this impacted cabin noise.

    Thanks in advance

    You will find that hard rubber with little traction is significantly quieter than soft rubber with big traction.

    Kind of defeats the purpose of having a Ferrari; though.

    Thanks Mitch. I realise this is the general principle, but I assume that people who have fitted things like the SottoZero don't automatically find themselves in a ditch. I'd just like the opinion of people who have actually tried different tires on the FF. Kind regards

    consumer reports have tires rating on noise.. I would try there first.
    tirerack also do tests, and do including tire noise
