GDIzen Neutral Newbie April 16, 2003 Share April 16, 2003 (edited) Having driven the car home after picking it up, I noticed some tyre roar even with stock rims and tyres. (195/60/15). So I decided to try a little experiment by spraying rubberized coating onto the inner wheel wells just like what you get when you 'Tuff Kote' your car. After doing that, the road noise from the wheels seems to be more subdued than usual! I wonder if that's effective in silencing the noise? Anyway, I managed to 'Tuff Kote' half the car with the other half tomorrow when I get some ICE!

GDIzen Neutral Newbie April 16, 2003 Author Share April 16, 2003 Wow, that reaffirms my observation. At first, I thought that was purely psychological as when you apply something, you kinda hope it works! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soya Supersonic April 17, 2003 Share April 17, 2003 Sounds promising. Do u have to prepare the wheel arches wif any special cleaners or primers to ensure the coating sticks well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
