2024 Polestar 2 — new tires are much louder than the old set

NoMarkupGal502Community StarterMay 2, 20262024 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual MotorNashville

Same size and pressure, but the new tires create noticeably more highway hum. Is this usually tread pattern/compound, or should I verify balance and alignment before blaming the tire model?

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2024 Polestar 2 is losing coolant with no puddle. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. If it repeats twice more I'll book time.
