Question, is tire noise greater in staggered setup? I currently have 19 inch staggered setup and it seems that tire noise is greater. Would changing the tire have diffrence in noise? Now I have toyo t1-s, previously I had 18s with yokohama dbs and it was worse than my current setup. Plus my old car, gs3, I had 18s non staggered setup with nittos and I had no noise issue. Tire noise I am annoyed with is that swishing sound like if you had a lump in the tire. It gets faster as I speed up and also when I brake I can feel the vibration as I stop. Does anyone else have this issue?

mostly it's tire and size issues. wider in the back MIGHT have a tiny bit more noise, but it's very minor

a good set of tires with soft rubber will be very quiet. the more sidewall it will be quieter too

Tire noise is primarily a result of tread pattern and wear characteristics.
