What size wheels you run?
Are there any vibration issues?

Some vibration at first with my 20x8.5's all around on my X, but then 85% of it went away when I got a set of hub centric rings.

go to tire rack.com and find your tires specs and performance data. The road sound comes with the tire quality and height of it, not the rim. I have 20" DPE ro7 with very costly Michelins PS2 245/35/20 and 285/35/20 on rears and no noise problems or harsh ride ( remember the suspension setup too ) I have Teins CF coilovers and the ride quality is perfect. Michelins PS are the best in performance and sound reduction. But.................... $$$$$$$$$$. For example, If you have Teins Flex With 245/25 or 30/19 fronts or 275 - 285 /25 or 30 / 19 rears, you ride will be like a rodeo. lol. I chose Teins CF because of the 20" and Michelins PS2 because of the high quality in performance. If you live in a Crappy road area - moving will be the onlyh option. lol wow i notice you have Teins CF.... hmmmm change tires, that will do the trick ( you can still move ) lol

Its funny nobody reads the title. He is asking for X owners. AWD guys.

I got 20's and I got some vibrations. I need to get some hub centric ring, but might be getting spacers so it should help.

I don't know what the tein CFs are...i have never heard of them. I have the tein comfort sport coilovers, but with my side walls in the rear (285/30/19) they seem to loud as hell. I am going to change my tires here soon and give another brand a chance. I am running the toyos now, but i am not a big fan...

I also have the tein CS on my car. I have 20's 245/35 and 275/30. Road noise is not that bad but does change between tire brands. I found Falken FX 452's to be the best ride and quiet of the 5 types I have tried.

Edit: sorry I didn't see this poll was for X only because it is not in the poll title on the main page.

I've been in more than a couple of X's that get vibration in the dashboard, never seen the prob in a RWD coupe or sedan.
