My '06 Aero sedan seems to be pretty good w/ road noise. The Conti-procontact 17" tires seem relatively quiet when compared to my old maxima which had a good set of yokohamas. Unfortunately, it is the exhaust/engine noise that really bothers me. At the 2000-ish RPM mark (esp. on the highway where you sustain the speed), the growl is too much. I tried to take advantage of the sentronic transmission by placing the car in a lower gear to rev up the RMPs while maintaining speed--2500 RMPs was much quieter, but it sucked down a lot more gas. Mostly, however, I think the color of my car (fusion blue) has a lot to do w/ the low road noise. :)
