B170

[Guest nemo]

Actually I forgot to tell u guys me just got my B170. A week only....

I notice the tire noise quite loud. Will sound proofing help or is it quite useless cause its a hatchback car?

nemo...congrat on ur new ride

The factory fitted tyres should be Conti CSC2 huh...that's what i got.

Tyre noise is quite hard to be completely eliminated...even with after-market soundproofing. Also, as our tyres are the low-profile type (45 series)...their side walls are harder and they are not exactly comfort and quiet. ContiSportContact 2 is already doing quite a good job in quietness. Maybe you can consider downsizing ur rims, like 16' or 15', so that you can fit in the more comfort/quiet-oriented tyres (eg. 55 series)?

HI bro yah i got the same tires. But i not willing to comprimise the size of rims. Hee Hee like the 17 look.

Sound proofing really cant eliminate the prob huh... Hiaz i guess I will give myself and my ride some more time b4 i decide. Thanks. But if eventually i wanna do soundproofing which is a good place that is reasonably price huh? Dun wanna spend too much is it is not gonna erase the prob totally. ;D
