Check again what thump_rrr said: "Road noise isn't the only thing people are trying to abate by adding sound deadening material."

Tires are the only thing that touch the road, but NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) in the cabin comes from much more than just tires alone. For drivers that are performance-oriented, sacrificing handling for a quieter ride isn't going to be acceptable. This thread is (mostly) about what can be done to quiet the cabin *other* than swapping out tires.
