I just read the last few posts about tire noise and wonder if the Michelin Energy Savers that came on my 2015 SL are the cause of the faint whine I hear (I just assumed it was gear noise). The 2011 came with Bridgestone Ecopias which became progressively louder as the miles increased. I eventually replaced them with Michelin MXM4s which were much quieter (also better handling and traction under dry conditions) but they did reduce range a bit due to increased rolling resistance. I may look for the Dunlops when I need new tires.
