Non AT vs AT tyre noise

I currently have Nexen tyres on my car and intend to fit Cooper ATs

Will I notice much of an increase in road noise

I'd say that AT tyres will generally induce more road news than non-AT tyres.
I'd say that the difference is not significant and, anyway, you'd very soon tune it out.
If your driving demands AT then get them ...

Be true to yourself. That way happiness lies...

Surely the tyre label should give a good indication, they are all rated for noise now  MY2014 SD4 XS

Just taken my winter Michelin AT latitudes off and replaced with Pirelli Verde for the spring
They are quieter and smoother but not by miles - FL2 3.2 i6 - There is no Replacement for Displacement

If my wife ever sells my stuff for what I told her I paid for it, there will be some bargains out there!
