Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas, more road noise = more miles?

[oobster]

Folks,

I had a set of these on my previous car (Focus 2.0TDCi) in 225/40/18 size and liked them. Decided when upgrading my standard O18" wheels to 19" on my current car (Octavia VRS) to go with them again (in 235/35/19 size). Been on the car since late summer last year, done approx. 6K miles.

Tyres still have a fair bit of tread left (probably 3-4mm) but I feel I am experiencing increased road noise these past few weeks (in both hot and cold weather).

Is this a fairly standard thing with this particular make/model of tyre or could the same be said of all tyres? Can't say I ever noticed this on my old Focus but then I couldn't swear it wasn't the case.

Any dayshift PH'ers offer an opinion?

Yes, all very normal with most tyres as the reduce in tread depth.
Tread pattern will play into the increase - some designs/brands being more noisy than others.
