No need to suffer with Z's insufferable road noise. I changed out the tires that came with my '09 base and got Continentals. Check the threads for the exact one (pro contact or extreme or something, don't quite remember now and I'm not home to look). But these tires diminished the road noise by at least 50%---maybe a lot more. Z became a totally different, comfortable car and the ride even felt less harsh and stiff. I don't track my car and handling/performance are not my priorities. Talk to Tire Rack or your local guy. It was the best $850 or so I ever spent (and these tires may also last longer than the stock performance tires).

I am seriously considering having a local audio shop do the complete Dynamat or equivalent treatment to my '09 in a few months. I really love the car but the road noise is excessive and does take away from the enjoyment of a road trip. I like to listen to music when I cruise or talk to my passenger. When on a mountain road for a little curves exercise I roll down the windows and listen to the engine sing, but that is less than 5% of the miles that I accumulate each year.
