New quiet tyres

I can't say I've ever heard road noise for any tyre on any bike I've owned, I didn't think it was a bike thing - only cars?

Your not the only one, with a helmet on and wind blowing, wish I knew what I should be hearing, and coming from Harley to BMW the silence of the bike is amazing.
At the opposite end of the scale, my K60 Scouts sound like a 4x4 with mud tyres. The old canvas bag dragged along a carpet sound constantly. I like it.

I've had tire noise from Anakees and from various other tires, on my GS and on various other bikes, and it has never bothered me in the slightest

Well it certainly looks like the next GS will have to be Electric otherwise I must be deaf I hear nothing but the engine roaring.

Do they do DCT on a GS ?
Unless you have DCT with the optional foot change lever
That defeats the porpoise Shirley
m sure its just a matter of time and a suitably priced acronym
What about other porpoises ? or just those called Shirley?

I’ve just fitted the new Pirelli Scorpion rally STR and I find them brilliant. There is some noise at around 70mph which I can easily live with. However I still think the new screen are the main cause of the noise. In my opinion and compared with the air cooled GSA, the LC screen is a step backward in terms of noise.

Do people no longer buy tyres based on performance rather than noise? FFS

All modern tyres are good
I was surprised how noisy Michelin Anakee Wild tyres were on my R1150GS. At 40mph it sounded like all the bearings in the gearbox were shot. The noise was so pronounced that I could hear when I got to 40 mph.
