The tire noise can be overcome by replacing the bridgestones for Michelin pilot sports. I don't notice it that much unless it's a rough surface road.
I think the Bose system is pretty decent for a factory stereo. I have no desire to replace it. Sure it could be a little louder and have a little more base, but honestly it's plenty for most of my needs and does sound pretty darn good for an oem unit. I listen to rock and metal. If you are the type that always installs an amp in the car, then you won't like it. If you have had oem units that were "good enough" in the past, the you will probably find it adequate . My FJ cruiser has the premium system in it with a factory sub, and it doesn't sound near as good. I am replacing that unit.
