Bottom Line on Road Noise

I recently purchased a 2000 Aero Sedan. Great car, responsive, intelligent, fun. However, I'm surprised at the pronounced Road Noise (more than my old '84 900 or my wife's Jeep). The Road Noise is really starting to take away from my enjoyment of this otherwise phenomenal car.
I've read reams of opinions on the road noise issue, ie: replacing the factory Michelin's, using nitrogen instead of air, Dynamat sound deadening in the doors, etc. Additionally, the Road Noise seems to be a personal issue, some 9-5 owners don't mind it or notice it - some do.
That said, is their anyone who was as bothered by the Road Noise as I am that can definitely say replacing the factory tires or installing Dynamat sound barriers in the doors has noticably helped ???
As a Saab enthusiast, I'm really trying to work with this, however, the thought of spending more money is not appealing, especially if only a small reduction in road noise is realized.
Thanks!
