Road noise.

[paul999]

I have a last of the old shape XKR and find the car very noisy on the motorway.My previous Stype sport obviously had smaller wheels and tyres but was much quieter.Is there a sound deadening kit available aftermarket.The car has 20ins wheels and Dunlop sport Max tryes( nearly new).They seem no more noisy than the Pirellis I had on it before so it is just a big fat tyre problem.Any Ideas please?

Hi Paul ,
I don't know of any sound deadening kit for X100's but I have Sport Maxx on mine and also previously had Pirelli and have not noticed any excessive road noise , indeed I would say it's a quiet ride at all speeds , have you ruled out front wheel bearings from the equation

Hope this helps

Dunlop Maxx are my favorite tyre on my S-type.

Certainly a long lasting tyre with grip like a leech and probably as quiet as it gets.

Not cheap but worth every penny in the long run. Love these tyres to bits. Just can`t wear them out. Great ride as well.
