Unfortunately tire noise contributes about 50% of the volume.

Maybe on the highway, but I would imagine that's not the case in major cities where cars are generally moving < 30 MPH.

Tire noise has a much different "sonic signature" compared to exhaust noise and ICE noise, it is much closer to "white" noise and has not as much rumble. I'm not saying it's necessarily any better, but maybe it's going to be less annoying.
