Fitting new tyres on a Hyundai Kona EV. The noise rating makes a huge difference.

In this video I was fitting new tyres to a Hyundai Kona EV, so thought I’d share tyre information. When buying new tyres for an EV, take note of the noise rating (in decibels). You may not think that a few decibels will make much of a difference, but when looking at tyres, 3dB is actually twice the noise!
In this case I was replacing the tyres on a 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric and replacing the existing Uniroyal tyres (rated 71dB) with Goodyears (rated 68dB) and apparently the difference was extremely noticeable even on very wet roads.

To learn more about the EU labelling on tyres and that important 3dB actually is double the amount of external noise, see https://www.goodyear.eu/en_gb/consumer/learn/eu-tire-label-explained.html
