Rock noise
All I hear driving down the street are rocks hitting the bottom of my car constantly. It's especially loud coming from the rear. It sounds like rocks are rolling around in my trunk sometimes - that's how bad it is. I never realized how rock-covered the roads in my area are until now.

The rocks sound have a lot to do with the tires. When I put on my winter rims (which are 245 wide 19") that sound is completely gone. One of the first things I noticed when I put my OEM summer setup on is how much rocks the tires kick up. You hear the sound all the time. I'm not sure if this car (F90) has rear wheel well carpeting but I'm assuming it does because it is even more focused on luxury than the G8X.

The MPSS I had on the F80 wasn't nearly as bad from this perspective, you had to be on a pretty bad surface to notice anything similar, but those tires didn't grip nearly as well either.

My breaks became squeaky after driving about 100 miles, but I suspect this could be normal for new breaks on HP cars and should go away after putting on more miles. My P Zeros PZ4's do bring up lots of rocks, particularly when going over newly paved pot holes, that is the worst.
