My sister has a corsa D 1.7 design with 17" alloys, the road noise inside the car is terrible, the dealer she bought it off suggested tyres we have now changed all the tyres and it's no better 
The tyre place said it's to do with the width of the tyre/alloys but surely the vxr's and sri's don't have this problem.
Can anyone shed any light?

Obviously check there isn't a wheel bearing noisy but I find the Corsa D's are just noisy as fuck anyway. Lots of road noise.

I dont notice the wheel noise on my VXR but then again it does have the remus fitted.
Wheel bearings seem to be an issue with this corsa though
