Car Tyre Bridgestone Ecopia HL 422+ 235/55 R20 102 V

These were already on the 2018 RAV 4 Hybrid when I bought it. For an all-season tyre it’s about average for noise level inside the car, being much less than the noise coming from the airflow over the car. RAV 4’s aren’t known for being quiet vehicles. I assume summer tyres with less aggressive tread patterns would be quieter but that’s the compromise for all-season tyres with better traction on wet grass, shallow mud and winter conditions. I’m impressed that the sipes around the outer edges are of 2 different widths allowing for better grip in soggy conditions and snow. I know from experience that tyres rated Mud and Snow with the corresponding more aggressive tyre patterns are much noisier. Mine at 27,000 miles are worn about halfway, the front tyres more than the rear tyres so I will have them changed around soon. I think all the other listed factors above are about what one would expect from an all-seasons tyre. A good performing summer tyre in a You Tube test is the Goodyear Efficiency Grip. It has excellent braking in the dry and wet and because it’s a summer tyre with less aggressive tread, a bit quieter.
