I am still experiencing tire noise problems with my 2003 350Z Track model. The problem was temporarily lessened after Nissan replaced the tires. However, it is now as bad as it ever was. Any suggestions?

the alignment I believe was the main concern for the 350Z, assuming that your dealer re-aligned it potholes arbs or other wise bad roads can have an effect on your alignment, also the tires play a large role, the smaller diameter wheels with more tire sidewall will be quieter and offer a smoother ride, and just because a tire is a name brand that doesn't mean it's gonna be quiet, you generally trade dry traction for wet traction, cornering for smoothe quiet ride, you just have to decide whats most important to you in a tire and sacrifice in other areas

Welcome to NICO!

I agree with what evildky said but also remember that if you're not completely happy with the repairs that the dealership performed you can always take it back and talk to them about it
