For your experience with the LS460, it totally depends on tires, which is also true of the LS430. With tires out of the equation the 460 is just as quiet as the 430 if not quieter. My LS460 has basically no tire noise unless the pavement is coarse, but I have very good tires. Tire noise and expansion joint noise is the same as it was in my 430 and 400.

The new ES is also very quiet, but the difference between the ES and the LS is road noise. The ES is not as well isolated from tire and road noise as the LS. Remember when you drive a new ES its on brand new tires and a used LS is on tires that have some wear.

My LS runs about 58 dB at 70 MPH. My Pacifica is 62, the new ES350 I drove was 59, my buddy's 2016 ES350 is 60.
im a bit late, but what tyres would you recommend for an LS460? Should I get Michelin pilot sport 5’s?

I should be more specific. I drive in Sydney, Australia. Never seen snow in my life. Just want to know what the most comfortable, quietest tyre is.

I wouldn’t put performance tires on the car, grand touring tires for the best and quietest ride. I ran Pirelli P7 AS plus on mine, I think they are on the Plus 3 now
