Excessive Road Noise From Rear of Car
So I'm driving my 8 and I can barely hear my radio because the noise coming from the back is really loud. Now I know I need new tires but would that really cause all this road noise I'm getting in my cabin. It is definately coming from the rear of the car. Any ideas on what this noise is?

Depends, do you still have the RE-040s? How many miles? They're REALLY loud at times as they age or if you rotate them. There isn't much sound dampinging in the back so it's amplified. New tires make it better, and sound proofing the trunk helps even more.

It's the tires. My Potenzas were shot by 15,000 miles. Put on a set of Yokohama ES100 and now I can finally hear the engine.
And the gearbox. :D: |

:hahano: lol. Well I just picked the car up on Tuesday used from my dealer. I haven't had time to do anything to it yet. It does have 17k miles on it and I am planning on new tires soon but I was also planning on possibly rotating them today. |

is it a loud whistle noise? if thats the case then its probably tire feathering. check your tires to see if the inside and outside of the tires have uneven wear.

After the Potenzas on my 8 were rotated, the road noise was much worse. I only have a little over 12k on them.

I have almost 19k on mine.
...oops |
Ok so we rotated the tires and now it seems to be a little better. Not as bad before but keep in mind I have been driving in the rain since we rotated them. But new tires are in the verrrrrrry near future.

The stock Potenzas are a piece of crap. When I planned to get winter tires, my dealer warned me that they
might increase the noise. :eek: The service manager is usually right, but here he was wrong - fortunately! My Dunlop Winter Sport M3 are wonderful quiet :rolleyes: Q-chan |
