What brand tyres are u running that is probably the issue , lancer are generally nosie by nature my 09 vrx is .... But I am running Bridgestone protenza s005 and that had reduced the road noise , if u wanted a more drastic measure though you could consider dyna matting the car .... And btw welcome to club CJ.

I think u will find it's your tyres if u change them you will get far less noise

Depending on what brand and size u go for mine are 215 x 45 18 Bridgestone they cost me 850 for four but I got one free if u didn't want to go that much you can go 225 40 18 in a brand called zetum they are good tyres to I have had them before so have a couple if other members , what I would really recommend is head to bob Jane t matts they will explain the width and size u can go because on the lancer u can fit 215 225 and 235 width tyres without guard rolling and you can go a 40 or a 45 series depending on how hard u like ur ride , but head to bob Jane they will explain everything and what brands are best for low road noise
hope that helps

Welcome to Club CJ!
As Mark said Lancer's are notorious for road noise, I have 18" low profile tyres on my car and they can become very noisy, depends on on the road surface I find, mine seem to be worse on a smoother road (eg. highway / freeway with a speed limit of 100km/h+). I find the tyre noise becomes extremely bad from around the 120km/h mark on my car!

Do what I am doing and Dynamat everything. That will stop road noise, not that I have that problem in the Ralliart

Welcome To ClubCJ Glenn
I had low profile tyres at first & noticed more of the road noise , Even though I liked the look of the low profiles I changed mine to the 45's & noticed less noise & I found the 45's give a better ride " Not so harsh over bumps " ... Just a suggestion for you !

Welcome to the club, my 2009 Vrx also has a lot of wheel noise, however I usually up my sound to block it out :p
