anyone have a suggestion to quiet down this noisy beast?
Performance is not a requirement.

 

Which noisy beast, the coupe or the sedan? What tires do you have on it now?

 

turn the radio up, lol i think it's actually pretty quiet. i have the pilot sports and they don't bother me one bit

04, 6mt, Twilight Blue, Premium, Aero

 

Try the Yoko DBs

03.5 Sedan/B.Sil/Prem/Wntr/Aero/Tint/Rims/Hotchkis Sways--WHRER ARE OUR PARTS!
69 Chevelle Hard Top BB/4.11's/Posi

 

sedan

 

And which tires came on your sedan?

Goodyear Eagle GS-D
Goodyear Eagle RS-A
Bridgestone Turanza EL42

If it's not the Turanza's, try those. Much quieter than either of the oem Goodyears.

If that's not good enough, you can get Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires in 235/50R17, which fits on the stock rims just fine. That tire won't even compromise the performance much to give you a quieter ride. (Or so I hear from the forum members that have them.)

 

Eagle Goodyear RSA's on the car.


Thanks

 

Hey dude. Check these out. They are new from Goodyear. Go with the 225/55/17's They are a good size for ABS, etc and will offer more of a contact patch. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....nce+ComforTred

I hear (from others that have them) that the RS-A's are extremely noisy, so just about anything ought to be better in comparison. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

 

These are suppose to be an awesome all around tire (including noise)
Im going for a pair of 245/45 next month
Look at the reviews

That's actually the tire I'm looking at (Eagle F1 GS-D3).. in 225/55R17. I didn't even think to look at it's noise levels, because for me, performance is a requirement. Plus, if you buy 4 of them before April 10th, Goodyear is currently offering a $75 free gas card.

 

I plan on replacing the POS EL42's on my sedan with Turanza LS-Z's in 235/50-17. Originally I had planned on replacing them with Conti Premiercontact's in 225/55-17, but based on Tirerack's customer responces, the LSV's rate the highest in road noise and ride of any tire in that size. They were originally made for luxury cars like the LS430, where ride is everything.
As I see it, ANYTHING has got to be better than my stock tires.
