Default My take on road noise again

After riding Saturday The verdict is a thumbs up. I wasnt paying attention at first since i havnt driven since last weekend, then i realized how nice it was. Just cruising about town with the windows down somewhat. It was perfect for a SPORTS CAR. Now thats the key. If you read reviews on any sports car, 95% will mention road noise as a negative. Thats because its a sports car. What I did was perfect for me. It sounds great . Noise was a non factor. Now I didnt go over those perferated cement highway sections but so what. For normal cruising, it was great. I added 2.5 rolls of a product bought at Lowes called Frost King and 1/2 inch layer of backed carpet insulation and removed the spare and layed down a comforter in the spare area. Made a nice unseen storage area. I will be putting on 19s tires 255/295 ( instead of my base 18s) soon. Im hoping what I did is not cancelled out somewhat with the larger rubber. Cross my fingers.
