I went to the dealers on Saturday to have a look at my new car and noticed that it had Goodyear tyres. Last one had Bridgestones. The Goodyear's are apparently very good so the dealer tells me, better than either the Dunlops or Bridgestones. Will wait and see !!!!.By the way only 1 Day to go, it looked fantastic.

I can't help but to fantasize for a spit second when I first read this.

I think I'm going to quantify the noise with my SPL meter now at 3900 miles and then periodically moving forward so that I can present some hard data in case I run into this issue.

Well, my NEW Dunlops are getting worse... I have not only the tire roar, but a hard pulling to the right, and my wife was driving the car last night and noticed a constant vibration in the steering wheel.

anyone else ever experience this vibration in the steering wheel? maybe it isn't tire related?
