what can be done to minimize tyre roar

underbody coating useful ar?

sound + vibration dampen the tyre well could help
but its 'cheaper' to change to quieter tyres

kev da man: itu raammat gotta measure, cut, peel then only stick la. make sure to rub the mat real nicely to make the butyl adhesive stick 200%

that's what i meant la

Yeap... peel off the brown paper at the back and stick on, but must clean the surface first la... use "spirit" or "fire alcohol" if direct translate from cantonese to wipe one time remove any oil residue first. Measure roughly before cutting then only you stick, it'll be really a b*tch to cut after sticking or while sticking. Use the back of your screwdriver to rub all over the surface after sticking to make sure the mat sticks on nicely. No heatgun required, don't worry.

Check my thread for details, don't want later say self pimping here But best if you could measure roughly how much you need first.

Not too sure where tog et underbody coating(3M ones) here in Malaysia, but the best would be undercoating + dampener(like RAAMmat) + thick felt material(i find them to work best compared to insuflex, BUT, they do take in water, so i only place them on the floors) Another option is like louyeh mentioned, change to quieter tyres, though so far my only "quiet" tyre were the Falken ST115s, the Michelin XM-1 doesn't seem to quiet down to me.

ST115 quiet? O.o most autoworld forumers complain that its noisy

Terang-nyer that lampu

u spammers...syoh syoh...

Hm... to me, it's quiet, maybe i'm more towards performance tyres It's the quietest amongst them and still provide very decent grip(i tend to find it grippier than the ES100 for the same size)

RE030 then?

Yokohama Advan Neova AD07 la weiii

i've tried the yoko aspec dB, made in 'japang' one
very quite
very expensive also

yap...value for money...

rm430 per piece for a 225/45/17 called value for money?

Aaron...RM430 seriously okay wei

If that's stim... then what about this?

id rather have GSD3, thank you, as i love to prance around in the rain

AD07 is good, but alot of noobs overrate it. there are better tyres out there like the proxes TR-1, PP2, CSC2 yadda yadda

Well, AD07 is not overrated at least on dry performance, AFAIK, only RE01 is the best tire you can find on dry other than AD07 but for a premium. Proxes T1R is quite good on dry and wet but wear off very fast and doesnt last. PP2 is not in the same league but not too bad on dry. CSC2 is expensive and doesnt meet it's performance for it's price, only great on comfort/noise. Cheap and comparable tires? The Taiwanese and Korean is your best bet. Personally, i'm very satisfied with Federal SS595 on my friend's Altezza after driving for a few days on dry and wet condition. Bang for the buck.
