WOW! that is a lot of ins-and outs, impressive. Thanks for the alternative opinion.
I might look into adding a little something from the wheel well side and replacing the old padding under the hatch carpet and floor mats. But I won't be removing any interior body panels. I really love this car and some small tweaks for comfort are great but I don't want to go crazy. Unfortunately the one thing I do need to do is replace the chintzy cd player someone installed.
I bought a refurb blaupunkt tape deck on ebay, I might make an attempt to switch that out on my own. If I'm gonna drown out road noise I feel I must do it as the designers intended. "performance"

IF you want something that sounds really good I have a couple of CD-2 stereos. IIRC, may not be exactly year correct by a year or 2,, but they sound very much superior to the earlier models.
Cheers,
Dave

Just to update (so many threads end without a conclusion to the original inquiry) I ended up getting the conti extreme contact sports all the way around in 225/50. They look good and feel good . They are somewhat quieter than the 11 year old Fuzions.
I am not going to remove the interior panels I am going to stuff some rockwool in the cavities above the wheels via the panels in the fenders and I did buy some one “Cascade VB-2HD Damping Sheet 13.9 sq. ft.” From amazon for under the mats and under the hatch carpet.
