Pretty wild how much of a difference there is in the NVH of the Conti DWS06 Plus compared to Indy 500s. At 80mph it's still more quiet than the Indys at 50-60mph. I use Loop earplugs when driving to reduce hearing damage and reduce fatigue without the more drastic isolation of standard earplugs and, though I will still use them, I really don't have to anymore. Also made me realize just how goddamn loud the WinterForce2 tires are as well, lol
