road noise with goodyear integrity's

[kevintomb]

Hello im new to the forum...I just purchased a 2003 camry LE with the 4-cylinder. While engine and wind noise are remarkably low, I notice on some coarse road surfaces a good amount of road noise. I realize the tires may be to blame mostly, and am wondering what others experiences are with these tires. I have about 35,000 miles on my tires and they are about 3/4 worn. Is it these tires in particular or do camrys have road noise on COARSE pavement normally?....On SMOOTH roads the car is VERY quiet. Has anyone else tried different tires with better results as to road noise??

i think the intergrity and regatta 2 are extremely quite tires.
Based on their design, they are not suppose to create a lot friction as opposed to some of the other performace goodyear tires, ie. Eagle series.

i believe that the intergritiy is a 60k tire, maybe 50k.

Everybody will get the same experience when you hit a coarse patch of road or even concrete highways... Concrete is more compact compared to black asphalt road, meaning that there is more of the tire touching the road. More surface area will create more friction.

I would not worry if I am in your shoes. If you put on some of those low profile performance tires, you will hear a lot more noise even if you are on a smooth road.

My 2005 camry is running on Integritys. Not much noise on uneven roads and coarse roads. It's probably your suspension. Maybe the shocks are a bit soft?
