How to reduce road/tire noise?

Did you upgrade your tyres?
Insulation recommended by Vortex helps but the extra weight will result in higher fuel consumption.

Thanks too, Bro. Mine is stock Toyo tire and rim. Did not upgrade. Initially quiet. Of late, the noise is noticeable louder. Not sure is it because my tire wear out unevenly due to a stretch of uneven road that I travel everyday on my way to work? Even if so, can it be so fast? Within 6 months?

Where you buy the insulation foam and the price? What is written on the can ? :smile:

Hi Jazz,
Is yours also getting noisy or is it that you just want to make it even quieter?

Hi Jazz,
When forumers say that their rides are quiet, I am not sure what is the benchmark. So, donno whether my Latio is quiet or noisy or average. It is just that the sound is louder than before.
Sat in my friend's camry (the older model that cost her about $100K then), it is really very quiet. Can feel there is a "filter layer" between the car cabin from the engine sound and road/tire sound. However, sat in my other friend's new Audi (which cost him about $180K), the road/tire sound seems to be louder than the camry. Both did not do any sound proofing.
For a fully stock car, other than the tires and road surface, are there any parts of the car that may affect the level of sound generated by the tire in contact with the road? Suspension or any other parts?
