Rotate the tires front to rear. At this time also check the tread wear pattern. If it gets quieter and/or the front tires are wearing unevenly your alignment might be off.

No, it's just loud because there's very little sound insulation.

since I bought mine used with 13k miles they said the tire weren't rotated enough...so I guess I live with or buy new 1's..any thought on putting in more insulation like Dynamat or undercoating????

If there is sufficient tread you might be able to find a place to shave the tires a bit to true them up. Then get a good alignment to get a fresh start so to speak. On our MZ5 the majority of the noise is wind noise from the front pillars and road noise after the second row.

@torquelover so if use a product like dynamat that should cut the road noise down...and make the stereo kick too???

I am local. If you want to compare the noise in my car to yours, that way you have a better idea.

Or go to a dealer and drive a brand new one.

See Dieseldriver's awesome thread about Dynamatting the 5. I'd love to do the same to our 5 one of these days.

Acoustic loading will help with road noise and applied properly will improve your sound. I plan to add some insulation the the 3rd row area.
