I have just traded my 59 plate Q5 for a new 2017 one. My 59 ran 18 inch 235/60 Bridgestone Dueller. The new one has 19 inch 235/55 Michelin Latitude Sport. I am very surprised at the much increased tyre noise on the new model, noticeable after immediately swapping cars. It sounds like the brake pads rubbing and initially I also thought it could be a noisy transmission. However it is neither as I ocassionaly hit a smooth patch of quiet road tarmac it almost vanishes. But 90% of the road tarmac is of the noisier type.
My question is what type of tyres do any others have on their new 2017 Q5 and do they notice any noise. Its hard to believe that moving from 18 inch to 19 inch would make such a difference or is it Michelin's are noisy.
My 8 Year's ownership provided a very reliable car to 80000 miles with a depreciation of only £2.5K per annum.
