i have a 2.0 TS from 12/2021 (17" wheels, with michelin primacy 4)
I think the problem has to do with the low profile tires. Profile 45 on 17" wheels is not good for the corolla's chassis/suspension setup.
Even in the steering wheel, on bad tarmac roads, i can feel the vibration transmited by tyres/suspension/chassis. I can basically feel everything the tyres enter contact with. If the tyres step into a small ant, i can feel it. π
Toyota thinks this car belongs to race tracks. π
i believe using tyre profile 50 or above would do a big difference regarding tyre noise...unfortunatly its not allowed here in portugal. Only if i switch to 16" wheels.
