Quiet Tires

Please recommend quiet tires for 20" wheels!!
I am runing Kumho Escata 225/35/20 & 275/30/20 and they scream like 18 wheelers!! Do not use kumhos for 20' wheels!!

Low profile tires like yours are going to be louder. Some models more so than others. There's not much sidewall to help absorb road noise. What model lex do you have? What are your wheel dimensions?

Toyo T1R's are pretty quiet in low profile sizes such as 235-35-19 and 275-30-19.

I have 06 GS430. I regret getting bigger wheel set because of the road noise coming from the Kumho tires. I am carefully reviewing tire noise feedback posted on TireRack, but cant relate with 20" tires.

+1 on the Nitto Invo's, that is if you're looking for a summer/performance tire. I have the same noise problem with Potenza RE960AS Pole Position tires after 4K miles, moved to some Toyo Versados and haven't had a problem.
