I am new to the g35s, but do know i'm right around the corner from purchasing one. I recently test drove 3 of them. Two 2005s a 2006 and both seem to have road noise coming from the front end. It's not a whining but more of road noise. Could it be the tires? At low speeds the car was very quiet and smooth, but once I picked up speed you can hear the road a lot more. I do know it has 19s on the car.

Is it just me, or any of you expirience this? Overall it's a beautiful car and will be purchasing one first thing Monday.

Thanks,FM

Tire noise is one of the unpleasant side effects of modern, very low profile tires. The G35 coupe is not the only car to suffer from it. Some tires are quieter than others. Check out the Yokohama Advan Sport on TireRack's web site. One of the improvements in the G37 is lower tire noise inside the car.
