Question
I recently bought a 2001 honda accord sedan it came with low profile tires it looks sharp but the tires pick up alot of road noise is  that common for this type of tire. what tire should I buy for a quite ride...........frank.....

Answer
Frank,

This is a common problem with low profile tires and there isn't much you can do except to ask a tire dealer when replacing the tires what works in your area.  Pavement textures greatly affect the way a tire generates noise and it is so highly variable that it can change depending on what the road surface is.
