Road Noise?
Does anyone/everyone else have lots of road or tire noise when cruising in their new 5.0? It seems as though I remember it with the stock pirellis on my 2011. I have been running general g-max 275's on the rear for months now and it just seems like a lot of tire noise?

My car makes a lot of road noise with stock Pirelli summer tires, I will spray some sound deadening material in wheel arches and change to all season touring tires, that might reduce road noise.

IMO, all season tires are a wee bit noisy than summer tires. I am running cooper rs3 a all seasons and I would say they are about 20% noisy at highway speeds but certainly not obtrusive. I think sound deadener would be the way to go except that it adds weight to the car.
Remember sound waves are just like water, they find the easiest opening and travel right thru it.
Hope you can get it the way you want it, if not just crank up the tunes, LOL

Most of the time my car isn't too bad, but there is one bridge I drive over every day where the howl of the tires is almost unbearable. It's not only loud, it's at just the right frequency to cause a harmonic amplification inside the car. You literally have to yell to be heard over it.

The p-zeros on our '13 are fairly quiet. I have noticed that on certain types of pavement they do have what I call a "sing" (that's what us old guys call it) to them.

For me it depends on pavement quality. Here in Sask. Canada it is mostly not very good pavement, clay soils that frost heave are hard on roads. I'm half deaf from working in the mines though

The last set of NTO Pirellis on my car were the noisiest tires I have had short of off road tires on an SUV. I was sure I had a bad wheel bearing. Switching to Kuhmo Exta 4X tires made a huge difference and I can hear the radio again.
