17 in road noise

I just switched stock tires to Nitto 205/40/17. This is first time with 17in tires is it normal to have quite a bit more road noise. I expected a roughter ride.

Thanks Bobby

You probably have that because they are new, thus the teeth of the tires are making the noise. Quite normal. It will go after a while.

Some tyres are a lot worse then others...depends on what you have got.

They will take a bit to get use to at times
