    what he said !!?? They must be really old, or really hard, maybe time for some new tires, also if you are using 16" wheels maybe go down to a 15" size with more sidewall meat, it will cushion the ride and quiet things down a bit.

    I made the switch from federal 595 evo's with around 1000 miles to Bridgestone rivals and the rivals are noticeably quieter which is surprising . Maybe look at some Yokohama s drives?
