You got Bose'd.* Tires aren't going to do much unless they were designed for your specific rims on your specific vehicle, which is what Honda does. But without also adding Helmholtz resonators designed for your exact wheels and tires, or an ANC system, you'd need 100+ lbs. of mass-loaded vinyl applied to the doors and underbody to measurably soak up road noise. It's doubtful tire pattern can even come close to approximating active or passive designed NC, but it probably can be made much worse with certain tire/tread designs that induce resonance.
