Default cabin noise tire choice

I found switching from all-season to summer takes a lot of whine and drone away.
pilot super sport .. 285/245mm ~ $1400, .. that nitro fill works for years, btw... 1 yr 9 mo out, temps
down to 47F mornings, no worries about stopping for lbs of air.

btw2, wanted to try upgrade to potenza's; Bridgestone D17 but Niss dealer had it not.
Shouldn't be too wedded to dealer for everything.

A bit of 'standard' door & hatch insulation can't be wrong, Zs have some power, for
price and competitiveness should try for 400 hp range imo .. but sound is econo-box level.

Would need nismo 350hp to make up for hundred lbs of sound insulation, though if you
don't spend much time above 4000 rpm, you probably don't need to worry about it.
