17 in road noise

[bobby]

I just switched stock tires to Nitto 205/40/17. This is first time with 17in tires is it normal to have quite a bit more road noise. I expected a roughter ride.

Thanks Bobby

You probably have that because they are new, thus the teeth of the tires are making the noise. Quite normal. It will go after a while.

Some tyres are a lot worse then others...depends on what you have got.

They will take a bit to get use to at times

Thanks guys, I'll take a little bit of noise for the result in performance.

Remember, you also have more rubber on the ground too..

some times the low cost low profiles makes more noises. the quiet tires cost higher $
