I just put OEM 19's on my G and it seems as if I get a lot more road now than with my OEM 18's. Could it just be the tires getting old/size? Can anyone comment one this?

 

The tires on your OEM 19's are a lower profile and a more performance oriented tire...therefore...louder on the road.

 

^ +1 on what he said...you'll get used to it

 

you will get used to it sooner than you think

 

Yeah the first week or so that was all I could hear, but now I think I'm getting use to it. I was just wondering if they all where like that. i was going to test drive and 06 just to see how loud it was new.

 

I made the same move from 18s to the 19s and while i have gotten use to the noise, I still at times lower the volume of the radio because i hear some noise.

Imho, its more than a little loud. I guess more reason to put some better speakers in the car...

 

Or change to some different tires. I hear having different tires will have less noise, but it will still be loud from what I "hear"

 

also the tires that come with the oem 19's are kinda noisy.. like what meph said try to change them if you get a chance

 

bridgestons are noisier than the michelins, but they also grip much better than michelins.

 

i have 2,000 miles on my car and holy **** its loud!! way too loud ,aslo i feel alot of vibration in the floor from the fron tires too. Anyone experiance this? I have to take it to the dealer def. Its like a pulsating noise!

 

^check ur alignment.

 

would you say the OEM 18" are substantially less noisy?

 

Just got oem 19s, and yes its louder, but Im used to it now.
