Reducing road noise on Nissan Juke

I own Nissan Juke 1.6DiG-T and I love it. But the cabin noise on the motorway is too high. Do you think a sound proofing kit will help?

Answered by Honest John

More likely to be the tyres than the car body, so a soundproofing kit won't help. If it's on 17-inch rims, swapping the tyres to 205/55 R17 or 215/55 R17 Michelin Cross Climates will help enormously, as they did with my Honda HR-V. If it's on 225/45 R18 tyres then you need to swap wheels and tyres to 17s.
