So this is what's difficult to find....
245/35R19 profile for front is more popular I guess. PSS doesn't offer full range as of recent conversation with the tyre shop owner.
For rear tyres, the same spec of tyre, 275/30R19, PSS does look more squarish (better "flush" as defined in this forum) than my previous Falken FK452. The 452 looks like a ball when mounted on the rim,...
Self note: I think it's because my rims are 10" wide so the tyre doesn't wrap up properly.
The tyre owner told me the tyre prices went up by a few percent every quarter.

After warn up the noise gone as usual (with stcok wheels)
Is it sounds like "tic-tic..." ?
The HVA engine noise issue happened to affect N52N engine. I am uncertain whether TT 3.0 engines are being affected.

By the way, have fun at the level 3 driver's training.

Tyre rack as the full range and easy to get for the f10.
not many ppl mod the F10 in HK that why they dont stock the size.

My noise coming from braking when appling to near stop.
It only happens after wheels changing and the first 3-5 stop.
After that there were no such noise again, until next cool start

1) If there is an establishment that remains open to the public on typhoon #8, they are usually the places you won't wanna go there, except 7/11
2) I think not
