Default Michelin 20 inch Primacy tyres give noisy hollow sound!

Anyone recognizes that Michelin 20 inch Primacy tyres give a nasty sound?
Like you are driving over a big holllow pipe.
Sounds like a resonance within the tyres.
Also heard at low speeds but mosl annoying at speeds around 80 km/h...

Default XC60 Tyre noise.

Are you sure the noise is from your Michelin Tyres?
I thought I had an intermittent tyre / suspension noise a bit like you describe for years - on 2013 XC60 D5. It disappeared after the 180,000 km refit of timing belt, pulleys etc. I believe now it was a howling tensioner pulley in the motor, which was replaced.
Food for thought?
