Squeaks, rattles and other noises
Don't count on it helping. I put Pilot Super Sports on my car when I upgraded to my OZ Alleggerita wheels, and I still have multiple squeaks and rattles. I still have a sporadic noise that comes from the right hand driver's air vent that I can eliminate by pressing on the adjustment ****. I also have a fairly regular rattle in the driver's door panel that seems to go away when I press on the top front of the pocket in the door. I think I have at least one other rattle but without eliminating the others first, it is hard to tell where it may be coming from. I didn't notice any dramatic improvement in the noise from squeaks and rattles when I upgraded my wheels and tires.

The ride quality and handling improved quite noticeably when I upgraded from the runflats on the Challenge Spoke wheels to the Pilot Super Sports on the OZ Alleggerita wheels. It's hard to say which affected the ride and handling more. The OZ wheels are significantly lighter than the Challenge Spoke wheels, and obviously the PSS tires are going to be much lighter and better handling than the run flats.
