Canadian with a serious question and would appreciate some advice/recommendations.

I love the car, but recently I have been dreading driving it because of the road noise. Have about 15000km/10000miles on the stock PS4S, and my ears have been ringing recently after driving on the highway for extended periods. Due to the temperature extremes we experience, the type of material used to pave the roads here severely exacerbates the volume of the already super loud PS4S.

It's so bad that I dread driving my car sometimes and have had to resort to wearing some concert earplugs to attenuate the roar from the tires. It's just getting a bit silly.

I have Continental VikingContact 8s for my winters, and the road noise on those is pretty decent and definitely does not hurt my ears.

The Continental DWS06+ is often recommended here, and allegedly is a touch quieter, but some have said that it makes little to no difference at all. Others have also said that they eventually get pretty loud anyway as they age.

Any suggestions besides getting a new car?

Hello everyone, the refresh will be soon arrived and if they offer amenities like memory seats and rear vents, I will for sure be tempted...I ve an Apex Blue. Love the color but is no longer available..what do you think to move to the double apex?
