It definitely depends on the pavement involved (as discussed in other road noise discussion). If I'm on blacktop, it seems incredibly quiet. If, however, I'm on newly chip-sealed pavement, this car is not as quiet as my previous 4Runner or my Dodge Dakota 4 wheel drive. I only suggest that it is the tires because others on this discussion group have suggested this. We bought the Saab to replace the 4Runner for road trips in hopes of more confort and safety. I assume that we have the safety, but with all the noise, I'm not sure about comfort. Like I said, Saab loses customers everytime someone else rides in my 9-5. One friend offered to take me for a ride in his chevy Cavalier to see how a quiet car sounds.
