Mine are 17" so road noise is a little less apparent than in cars running on larger wheels anyway. That being said I've noticed a reduction in road noise over the Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres I previously had.

I'd second that, vredsteins give a better ride than the dunlops.

I think the little castors from your suitcase give a better ride (and handling) than the dunlops.  A woefull tyre than has nothing good about it - its a shame many (like me) don't realise this till you get rid of them.

Admittedly not the quietest tyre but 10x better than the Dunflops. The hire car i had a while back had the dunlops on and it nearly got spun twice :huh:

Horrible tyre that has crap cornering!!
