I bought a Captiva, on which the first owner installed this rubber in the amount of 238/60/18. I can compare with the Michelin Latitude Sport-3 235/65R17 108V (considered the standard of summer tires), which were on exactly the same previous Captiva. In addition, in the previous Captiva, complete soundproofing was made. So, according to Michelin, Nitto is complete silence.
