They should be quiet for at least 70-80% of the tire life...once you are close to end of tread life they will make some noise. I have gotten approx 15,000km's out of mine and I say I have another 1000 km's if I am lucky before I have to replace them. Around 13,000 km's I started to hear road noise from the tires on the hwy especially.

It’s all relative,
Not as noisy as my truck,
Slightly more than my wife’s car.

Just pull the fuse on the NPP exhaust and you’ll never notice it

Pulling the fuse make it louder than “track”?

Loud? I have 7200 miles on my 2018 ZL1, only time I notice the tire noise is when the windows are down. All I can hear is that motor. And I LOVE it!

Thanks for the replies. I read a review and the reviewer was complaining about how loud the tires on the hwy were. I understand it’s not lexus quiet, which I don’t want. As long as it’s close to the 12 ZL1 I had. I read elsewhere that the Camaro is the quieter the Mustang and Challenger.

Not louder, but will keep the valves open all the time,
Even in track, the valves close partially part of the time.

They are run flat....
So
A little bit more noisy
Did 15000miles with OEM GY with no complaints...
Changed to PS4 (more grip, less noise, smoother steering, non run flat)

Not really. I installed nittos which are louder, but last longer.

The stock GYs aren’t runflat.

99% certain that ScottMZ3 is correct. My Son's 3-series BMW has run-flat and they say so on the side wall. I just checked my OEM tires in the garage and No Where do they say runflat on the sidewall.

Not runflats. They are loud when it's cold. Quiet when it's hot.

I've never noticed any tire noise and I'm picky. I'm guessing bad alignment or something else is causing the noise.
