I'm a relatively new owner of a 2005 Certified S2000 (silver with about 30k miles on it). The tire noise, particularly at highway speeds, is kinda annoying and I plan to use it as a daily driver. Am thinking about shedding the new Fuzion ZR1's that are on it, in place of all season tires to reduce the noise. Has anyone else done that and, if so, did you have success? thanks

 

Road noise and the S are like manual transmission and the S: They're inseparable. If you reduce the tire noise by a few DBs you'll then get annoyed by the exhaust note at highway speed. Reduce the exhaust note, then you'll be annoyed by the rattles. It's simply not a quiet ride, shouldn't be IMO either.


You get used to it though. I went from a super quiet DD of 60 miles a day to the S and don't even notice the tire noise anymore. Maybe I went a little deaf as result?
