Default New owner.....Road noise + air pressure

Hi everyone, I'm a new owner of a 06 redline...Love this car....especially the sound of the Nismo exhaust...My dealer set the air pressure in the tires at 33 front and 34 rear..Is this correct or is it too much...I seem to have alot of road noise especially on concete highways....It seems to be quieter on tar roadways....

any help would be appreciated

thanks

Congratulations and welcome.

The recommended tire pressure is on the placard inside the drivers door.

Glad you are enjoying your Z and happy modding! The tire pressure should be 35 front and rear. The TP has no effect on the amount of road noise. Different tread patterns have some influence on the amount of noise. Basically it's just part of owning a Z.

I notice more road noise in a hatchback vs. a coupe/sedan with a trunk. It also depends upon the amount and location of insulation that's used to reduce road noise, etc.
