Loud road noise from m56s new a/c compressor still loud

[MpamP]

I've been noticing road noise seemingly originating from the front drivers side tire area. The Noise is somewhat inconsistent and seems louder on certain types of pavement versus others. I did have my air compressor replaced due to the fact that the old one was quite loud. Well the new ones not very quiet either. Does anybody have any experience they would like to share on either the road noise or the AC compressor noise?

I too complained about the loudness of the AC compressor but 2 separate dealers informed me that it's normal. I've had 2 M56's and both of them had loud compressors.

I have the same noise. Front driver side tire. I rotated my wheels front to back and the noise got a lot better for a bit. Had an alignment done and it's been mostly okay - but it's still there on certain surfaces and definitely noticeable when you're coming to a stop or driving very slow. Tire shop pointed out the cupping of the tire to me and said to keep rotating them.

From what I know as well is that the OEM Bridgestones are poor and are known to make these noises and wear poorly. I've always gotten rid of Nissan's stock tire offerings on all my Zs and replaced them with Michelin Pilot and Super Sports.

And yes, AC noise...I have it too and I have a 2013. Dealer told me they can't perform the TSB on it because it only covers 2011-2012 cars.

For whatever it's worth, I got rid of the OEM Bridgestone 20s for Continental Extreme Contact DW. What an AMAZING difference. The car handles much better, drives MUCH MUCH quieter, rides smoother, and grips very well. Also, the Contis are 6lbs lighter per tire over Bridgestone and you feel it in the throttle response.
