The one major issue I have with the accord is road noise and I am ***uming that the tourer is worse than the saloon because of the openess of the boot. I don't think I have the best tyres for road noise so am thinking of getting some falkens. Will replacing just the 2 rears make a big difference or does the front end cause quitea bit of noise too?
 
I am running on standard 16" wheels, at present have Dunlop sport on the front and Michelin on the rear, have in the past run on Khumo, Firestone, not noticed any difference in any of them, I have however got a solution, TURN THE RADIO UP, or wear a balaclava LOL
 
Mines always seemed quite noisy, have Pirelli PZero's and Firestones, doesn't seem to make much difference which are front or back though I do think the Firestones are just that bit noisier and the Pirelli's don't last 5mins so will change brand next time...
 
Looks like there isn't a definative answer here, so I guess its one of those try and see scenarios.
