Hi, I recently fitted a set of 17" AMG style wheels to my MB C200 sport.They look absolutely superb .however the road noise has increased singificantly, even on very smooth surfaces.I expected some increase but not so much. I have fitted aset of Pirelli P7000 225x45x17 series tires.Have you any info about sound proofing etc .Ihope someone can be of assistance.
Thankyou
Ivor

Road noise like that tends to be the downside to extreme low profile fittments. One thing you can do is buy tires that are known for quiet ride. The P7000 is NOT exactly known for its quiet ride. You would probably be happier with the Dunlop SP9000 or Michelin MXX3.

Hope this helps...Lee
