A friend who runs a tire shop told me the Proxes4 are noisy and that some customers have returned them. Has that been anyone's experience in the 17 inch size? thx

 

i had them on different cars in size 15-16-17-18-all prox 4 never had a problem

 

Is the "noise" the only reason that customers returned the tires? I've had them on my car for over a year (in 18") and am quite pleased with their behavior (road and noise-wise).











<<< and that's 7,000

 

they make a very low-volume whirring sound (like being on an airliner cruising across the ocean, but much quieter). I actually like the sound. Other than that they are the quietest tires I've owned on this car.

 

They're pretty quiet.

 

Just got them installed. I don't hear a thing..either I'm getting old or they are that quiet.

 

No noise issues from mine. I've run mine the past two summers. Proxes 4's perform beautifully!

 

I had them on my Honda in the 17" version, very quiet tires. I think your boy may be mistaken....

 

No issues with mine that I remember. They were 19's even and one of the best I've owned other than the T1r's I replaced them with.
