This one has new Michelin Pilot something or others on 17" rims and tire noise was not an issue at all on the highway. That said, the aftermarket exhaust was a little buzzy inside at highway cruise speeds but the noise and off throttle burble/popping made it well worth it IMO once on the back roads. I have the original Dunlop run flats on the original 16" wheels, but my uncle claimed they got very noisy and became awful in the rain after 15k or so miles. I will need to see if there are donut spares available as my uncle just figured he would use AAA if he ever had a flat in his 17" non run flat tires.
The car rides pretty stiff and poor highway surfaces/cracks are noticeable, but I am sure the stock 16" wheels would make for a smoother highway experience.
