Tire Noise

[Kubotakid]

I just switched our 2015 Explorer XLT 20” tires from the Hancock to the Goodyear Assurance Max Life. I noticed more road noise than typical. Understand the new tires are 85k mile tires so the compound must be a little harder. Measure decibel levels with Apple Watch and between 65 and 80 it is around 66 db. At a dead stop is 44. Does anyone have experience with there explorer with road noise or recommended tires based on personal experience. Not sure I want to keep these tires.
