Its fine now but I really, really like quiet in the car as I go on long drives and sometimes my wife or I want to nap in the passenger seat..so when the tires wear out I am switching to Continental Extreme contacts..i have asked enough people and there seems to be good reason to believe these will also reduce the noise..
I really have come to believe that Nissan did not add sound dampening because they want to differentiate this car from the G35 and G 37 and cabin noise is one of the ways...

I had positive results from doing the door & trunk area; there would have been even better results from doing the floor too but I didn't feel it was necessary.
Are you going to lose a bit on the performance side going with the continental Extreme contact? I have a set of Continental (not sure if it's the extreme ones) on my Altima and they do last a very long time.
