+2 on tire noise. My last tires, Pirelli P-Zeros were very quiet but unfortunately wore out fast. My new Yokohamas make noticeably more noise.

Did you have the P Zero/Neros?? Those are what came on my car and I love 'em but will be needing new shoes in about a year at the most.

I've been researching putting the expandable foam in the fender wells but want to be sure it won't screw up anything or cause issues down the road.

Hi Cobra,
you are definitely well intentioned, but, so dangerous when let out alone

sounds like my wife

If you're out of warranty I say why not. If under warranty, I wouldn't do it. Any rust or corrosion issues anywhere near that area will be blamed on the foam.

You're probably right. They would blame "anything" on the owner if possible. However, the rust-proof warranty is 5 yrs (I think?).

Anyway, I'd hate to think I'd screw up my car by doing the expanding foam thing even if it was out of warranty. With the kind of luck I have, there are connectors/wires running in there and the foam would mess up something.

(I'm the reason for Murphy's Laws)

Hey Cobra, I'm curious: Would you do this to an M5 and post it on a popular BMW forum?

Lordy, this topic (which WAS interesting) has made the worst turn I've seen so far.

I always thought one of the best features of the my car was how quiet it was. Hmmm?

 

[shagnat]

a little bit of expanding foam to cut down on some tire noise is a good idea IMO.

Although the Genesis sedan is a quiet car, adding Hyundai all weather floor mats also makes the car quieter. Adding floor mats to the front and back definitely lowers road noise. The floor mats can replace the factory carpeted floor mats.
