Post Noisy 19's

So I did some searchin didn't find anything... I'm sure this has been discussed B4.
Are all low profile tires that are streched a bit noisy? This partucular situation I'm lookin at is 265/30 (I think)/19 on a 9.5 rim tires are falken452... I've had low profile tires on rims before but never streched...

So if there is a thread discussin this please piont me in the right direction it would be much appreciated

an advanced search using the key words "falken" and "452" in the "tires/wheels/brakes forum" pulled up the following:

My 19" is actually quieter than the Lexus OEM 18" Dunlop SportMaxx. Will see how long will it be last.
