I drove a steel sprung, d5 non laminated glass inscription on 20s which belonged to the dealer. I drove this for 150 miles or so on the motorway and definitely noticed the increased noise compared to my t8.
Thanks Phillip. Your car being 'next to silent on the motorway' just seems worlds away from what I am experiencing! How can a 1" smaller wheel size and laminated glass make such a difference!
