View Full Version : 19s much noiser than stock? lucifuge 10-13-2005, 03:31 AM trying to get an idea if going to 19"s gives significant amount more road noise than stock. opinions? EZZY 10-13-2005, 03:47 AM depends on the type/brand of the tyres the alloy wheel itself would not be making much noise... if any RotaryN00b 10-13-2005, 01:21 PM Tires make road noise, not wheels/wheel size... But... I had 19's on my car for a while, and I didn't have an increase of road noise =) BlueEyes 10-13-2005, 01:29 PM You probably have a lower profile tire, so maybe that has something to do with it? RotaryN00b 10-13-2005, 01:43 PM Lower profile will typically give more noise, because of less/stiffer sidewall... I wasn't running a very low profile though, I'm afraid of potholes =) I was runnin 245-40-19 DARKMAZ8 10-13-2005, 01:55 PM I wouldn't ride with anything less than 45 series tires for daily driving. kwescott 10-13-2005, 11:12 PM I recently changed from stock 18's to 19's. Don't notice any increase in noise. |
