Hi folks, looking for some informed opinion about the cause of a road noise increase. About 3000 miles ago I changed rear tires from stock to 305 (PZero) and about the same time installed Steeda RLCAs and rear shock mounts, and FRPP knuckle bearings. Steeda claim no NVH increase from the the RLCA bearings but from what I'm reading here some people feel the RLCA bearing does increase NVH.
Either way the noise is quite intrusive on coarse tarmac surfaces although it remains quiet on smooth surfaces, the increase is a no brainer but the difference is huge. I would expect increased noise from wider tires and at least some of the the suspension mods as the latter replaces bushes with bearings, but I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who's maybe just fitted wider tires or the susp mods and can comment on the noise change.
Car is a DD and I'm thinking of taking out the RLCAs but there's no point if it's the tires.
Cheers and TIA
