I just came back from the dealer where a new set of SZ50 EP has been installed (225/50/16).
Happy to confirm that my hearing is OK!

What a difference compared with the noisy BFG g-force! I can listen again to the radio and to the engine sound. These tires are much more comfy, look awesome and fill better the wheel wells.
Performance wise, I didn't notice any difference yet with the BFG. We'll see...
