Since I had to change the tires from summer to winter, I took advantage of the effort to acoustically treat the wheel wells, kick panels, and quarter panels.
There is a small amount of sound absorption in the space between the quarter panel and kick panel.
The passenger side has the added challenge of the windshield fluid reservoir.
I used some Resonix CLD on the quarter panel and then Fibermat 45 in the cavities and on the flat areas.
Next, I covered a lot of the areas with Raamaudio Ensolite CCF, including along seams for cut edges of Fibermat due to the amount of water that that area is subject to.
I switch to winter tires for an obvious reason. The all-season summer tires aren’t rated for use below 40 deg. F. Here you can see the front/rear stock tires with 20,000 miles. The Blizzak tires are used (left) and new (right) with the new tires going on front (steering and braking).
