Stock tires are LRR. So, you are not really going to get quieter. Low rolling resistance tires are the most efficient. Which is why toyota puts them on the prius.

Add sound deadening mat, turn up the stereo, or get some studded tires. Then take them off, it will sound quiet in comparison. Just saying that it is fairly quiet stock. The car is 88db. My s2000 was 96db stock...
