very noisy khumo 712

Guys, I just put on my mags with new khumo 712 on and found them to be quite noisy at any speed. They are 205//40/17 and I haven't done any drop yet on the suspension. Do you have the same problem with other brands and is there a tire that could be quiter than those ones as I might get bored very fast if I have to listen to that sound any longer than 15 minutes.

I've been trying out a set of 17 inch Lenso mags with Yokohama A539 215/45ZR/17 87w tires. They are noisy on the road, but most of all the car seems very light on the steering. I always thought 17 inch wheels and tires would increase the road handling, not decrease it. They look cool though.
