Not seeing (rather hearing) that. My Lariat is on the quiet side.
Good point, tires can make all the difference. When I bought our old 2001 Grand Marquis, the dealer put new tires on it as an incentive. I ended up wishing they hadn't and just knock a few hundred off the price. They were top of the line Cooper tires for that car, but I never liked how the car drove or behaved in rain or snow. Even after having my local dealer check the suspension and alignment. After replacing the Coopers with Michelins, the car drove great. It cornered with confidence and felt good in rain and snow. It was an entirely different car.
I'll never even consider Coopers now. Hope my Maverick Lariat Hybrid (18" wheels) comes with Michelins, otherwise, there will be some tires for sale.

Iāve done a lot of work in different tire plants setting tire building machines ,presses, extruders,etc. Many tire brands I wonāt consider. especially Continental tires, those will never be on my maverick. Michelin is the way to go for sure.

The XLT 2.0 with FX4 I test drove only let in a tiny amount of tire noise. We opened and closed windows to confirm that was what we were hearing. It wasn't overpowering at all with windows up.My XLT FX4 with the Pirelliās is nice and quiet. I donāt know what your idea of noisy is, but my Maverick is quieter on the highway than my ā17 Escape SE was. My wife doesnāt have to raise her voice at all when she talks to me, so I donāt have to turn up the radio as much to drown it out.
I had a new 2007 Vibe and traded in on 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Maverick I test drove was no louder than the Vibe from what I remember- but neither are as quiet as the Jeep GC- as would be expected.
When ever I drop my vehicles off for maintenance, I check all the tires PSI. They are usually high by about 9-12 PSI. The dealer adjusts the pressure for maximum payload and I just bleed them for normal driving and add PSI when hauling something heavy.

It was delivered that way. It was at max indicated on the tire at 45 psi but the pressure indicated on the door sill said 30 psi. No real tire over inflation issue but ride and noise factor suffered. CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE upon deliveryā¦ Many dealers skip this and seems theyāre air up at max capacity when installed at the factory, not for the application..

Mine was louder than I cared for on delivery, especially on asphalt highways around DFW - there was a very noticeable drop in noise when the road surface was concrete. I found the tires to be 10 pounds over pressure, dropping back to spec helped - a bit.
I believe the Continental tires are the chief culprit, but I will put up with 'em until time to replace - I don't see these lasting very long, they seem pretty piss-poor to me.
Sound deadening is on the list too..

I value sound insulation\proofing in a vehicle as the ultimate proof of quality, for me that's more "luxury" than some leather seats or dual climate control..
Question of time and you will have aftermarket things such tires with dampening like this continental or gaskets to place in the doors.
" ContiSilentā¢ helps reduce interior vehicle noise up to 9 dB(A), depending on the type of vehicle, its speed and the road surface. At the moment it is only available for summer tires and is compatible with all commonly available rims "
I also expect someone will try soon to place dampening material sound on the wheel arches.
maybe there are already some active noise cancellation system that reduce noise in a certain noise frequency range.
I just have to wait for my maverick to say how satisfied I am.

If you want to experience what loud is REALLY like, try driving up I-80 Outside Larime Wyo. In a Prius c! I suspect the noise in my maverick (if ever built) will not compare!
