Asking for specific input on tire noise and not for automotive purchases or miscellaneous stuff. If you have nothing useful to add, why bother?

I think most of the other threads recommended the comfort inflation pressure (eg slightly under inflating) or other tires. I do a lot of highway driving, and never notice the tires over the engine. If you are running PDK, maybe try sport mode or manual gear selection ? Normal mode is really “fuel economy” mode and it keeps the rpm far too low for highway cruising imo. granted highways in the north east are pretty crappily maintained

ipse dixit

Maybe don't drive the 911 on the highway? Save it just for the backroads perhaps.

New tires will be quieter than worn tires.........

Thanks for the comments. I run comfort pressure, partial load.. Well aware of newer tires versus old ones. I dumped almost new Pirellis for Michelins nut did not notice any significant improvement. As for not driving my 911 on the highway, it is my only car so not possible. Bottom line is, it is the nature of the beast. Small cabin, wide tires and no wheel liners to speak of. I guess the only useful thing I learnt is that adding some sound deadening foam in the rear wheel wells might help. No biig deal. Ear plugs are cheap.
