A lot of the "tuner" tires are noisy. My Azenis were louder than the 34s on my 4Runner.

i have toyo proxes fz4s same set up 205/40/16 rotas. get a bushing kit make sure everything is running smooth get a wheel alingment. most wil be loud. all low pros. yokohama parada spec2 were nice. they wore quik though

is there uneven tire wear due to camber settings?

performance tires, especially with low/stiffer sidewalls, will be louder. that's just the price you pay for better grip, less flex, and steering feedback.

what's important is that your alignment specs are correct and that you have a camber kit if it's required.

the balance. i didnt need a camber kit i was like .1 off front right tire and its pefect toyos last a long time if you dont beat on them. id have to see the way they wore is it like all the inside of the tire. thats what happens when you lower it but if you can get a wheel alignment you should be fine. easy on the corners though i know youll wanna go fastaround them but that and burn outs is were all the tread goes then you have to spend another 120 or more, a tire. and your bushings are going to get chewed up if you dont get polyurethane ones.

i had hankook ventus II 205/40/16 on rota gt3, i didnt hear anything... now im on rota circuit 8 w/ toyo 205/45/16.. hella loud. i guess its a good thing, cuz its stiffer sidewalls

I had the proxies on my 94 300zx, the only thing you can do is turn the radio up

they're really tough tires that can take a beating

I got my car with 215/40/16 on OZ polaris and boy do they suck

But with the CAI, the exhaust, noise polution, and worn out wheel bearing the road noise from the tires is the least of my concern
