There is slightly higher noise after I switched to 18" wheels and off-road tires, however, I agree with what Ratchey said below:

If you aren't looking for off-road capabilities, I am sure you could find quiet tires that would fit 18" wheels.

 

Thanks. Appreciate the advice.

 

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation. I am in the market to get a 2nd set of wheels for my 2021 LX 570, do you know if this would fit pls? Sorry if I missed your manuf year inadvertently.
