Default Yes much noiser.

I just had installed also.
Just had the SO3's, lasted 21k miles!!
Prior I had the Pzero Russo lasted 15k miles.
Both of these tire were quiet compared to the Pilot Sports, but the grip in the Pilots are GREAT!

Default My Michelin's Pilot Sport MXM got loud like hell with age

I loved those tires, but they'd last only 12k miles.
