Question Tire noise and noise

My 99 RS has about 25,000 miles and I recently started to hear a humming type sound (comming from the back)when cruising about 40mph... Im guessing its tire noise. Does anyone know if the stock tires tend to do this with wear?!
(they appear fine with no uneven wear!)

Also... has anyone actually tested (in decibles) the amount of noise an RS can make without a muffler? I wanted to chop off the pipe/muffler (cat-back) and replace it with 2.5" exhaust + "resotube". The guy at the muffler shop says (and I quote) "Do you know how loud thats gonna be!? It will be blatenly illegal".

I question this because 95 decibles is the legal limit and thats pretty dam loud.
