... recommend a smoother and quieter riding performance tire? The damn things flat spot bad and take a couple of miles to smooth out. After that they are ok until I get to the freeway. Its not glass smooth, and the car has the most road noise of any car Ive ever been in. Very uncomforting to say the least. But when the road changes from concrete to asphalt, it quites down quite a bit. Has anyone found a reasonably priced, smooth, quiet performace tire for these cars? [&:]

1. Put some sound dampening material in your floorboards
2. Go with some smaller rims and/or more rubber on your radials.
Unfortunately, no matter what you do you need to accept the fact that this car will never ride as quietly as a Lexus......and well it shouldn't.
