I think the SP 2000 is the tire the car originally came with. My Viggen had some tire noise problems shortly after I bought it, due to lack of tire rotation by the previous owner. If you're not sure how new the tires are, it's possible you have the same problem. The alignment settings in the rear can cause a wear pattern in the rear tires that makes the tires roar loudly. If your tires have this pattern, you may be able to feel it by rubbing your hand across the tread. You may also be able to identify it by comparing the noise in the rear of the car to that of the front. Rotating the tires to the front for a while wears off the offending tread ripples after a couple thousand miles, particularly if you drive aggressively:)
BTW, I'm running Dunlop Wintersport M3 tires, rotated every 5k, and after 10k miles, they are still very quiet, especially for a winter tire.
