I am about to put sound deadening mat and foam in the Civic ... including the front doors, floor, rear sides and trunk. But getting under the dash and up against the fire wall is a little beyond my abilities. I've done this to a Maxima and Pilot before. With both of those vehicles I was able to get behind the front wheel well from the passenger compartment to add foam. I found it did help silencing some of the front tire noise. That's why I was asking it anyone has done anything special to reduce front tire noise in a Civic.

When I sound deadened the other vehicles, the front tire noise seemed to be more noticeable once the door and trunk area road noise was less.

I know certain tires are louder than others. But the car is new with only 1,000 miles on it, so I won't be changing out the tires just yet. But when I do, noise will be a consideration.

Thanks for the help guys.
