I know ya do, and I know ya meant the tires. $850 ain't cheap! (I was kidding about the "cheap"-ness, in the "inexpensive" sense).

Just had the Michelin OEM's switched with the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity. Rumor has it they're quieter. Time will tell, but after 50 miles, I'm hearing less road noise.

Did you sell the OEMs? That's a big chunk of change to drop on a brand new car. I am very interested in this issue, please keep up posted. Too bad you didn't have a sound meter to measure before and after levels.

Interesting story, I read somewhere online how a guy was given about $100 credit on his new OEM's toward the purchase of a new set. Before that, I never even thought about asking for credit on the Michelin's.
 
Anyway, 2 days b-4 I bought the car, I went by Belle Tire( 75 store chain in my area) to ask if they would be willing to give me any credit for the OEM's. By the way he answered it sounds like they do it quite frequently. He called it a "new tire trade-in", which he defined as almost new tire(65 miles in this case)at a lower cost.
 
Long story, but he ended up offering to swap them straight up. No out of pocket $ for me. Plus, he threw in their road hazard warranty, which I did not have with the OEM Michelin's. It was neat how it worked out. I got the car yesterday and had them switched today.
 
I will definitely post updates as I get a few more miles on them. It may be tough for me to compare them to the Michelin's since I only drove those for a few miles.

Its not the tires in the V6. I cant speak to the 4cyl.
 
On the V6 08 During steady cruising speeds , VCM shuts down one bank of cylinders. In this mode, the audio system’s Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) function generates out-of-phase sound waves to cancel out any undesirable noise that may be due to the harmonics of 3-cylinder operation.
 
Only issue is its not 100%t effective...

noise, not tires by nleach

My 2008 honda accord has alot of road noise on the passenger side. I have had it back to the dealer. First they adjusted the doors on the passenger side. This helped some. However, I still hear too much road noise for a honda. Also, I have lost 40% of my hearing so this really worries me that I can hear so much noise. This is my 4th honda and have never heard any road noise like this. My last honda was a 98 Accord. It has mich. tires. also. I have great success with these tires and Hondas. Any suggestions , and is the ANC something automatic or do I have to program it in. Thanks

Goodyear assurance comfort treds ride more smoothly and quietly than the Michelins on my 02 V6. You do lose 1-1.5 mpg which was o.k. with me as I was tired of being "beaten" by my car on a daily basis.
