How come all the IS I drive has horrible road noises?
OK, so I test drove 3 IS and they all had horrible road noises. Is this normal? They all had factory wheels. I didn't get the chance to look at the tires.

New or used? Tires might be the reason. If they were used, the original owner may have left aftermarket suspension on. But most likely its the tires. When I had an IS loaner, it was much more quiet than mine (the only difference at the time being tires). Hope this helps!

It drives Extremely noises with the factory Dunlop SP Sport 5000 M 225/45 R17. Which continental are you using? I was planning on the Continental DWS, but the review on tire rack seem bad with vibration. Any recommendation for an decents All-Season tire?

My 07 250 is noisy with the BFG gforce KDWs on it as well. It's the tires more than anything. When you get 70-80mph the noise goes away.
