I think it was tires manufactured during most of 2003, which went on the 2004 cars. After that Dunlop fixed the problem. There is a date code on the sidewall of each tire, something like wwyy where w= week (01-52) and y= year (03,04,05). I think thats the coding.

My question is, what is too much tire noise? I drive with my windows/sun roof closed almost all the time, and my radio/cd playing.
Now that I've got around 11,000km on the tires, I'm starting to think (after reading all this stuff about tire noise) then I'm driving with my radio/cd turned off, that yes, I can hear my tires ... how much noise to unacceptable? So I hear anything, or should it only be really load ...
I know, I'm asking a difficult questions (how long is a piece of string) but before winter hits and I switch to my winter tires, I'd like to go to my dealer if indeed I have a problem.
