Just a tip for those of you who think you have noisy tires. I was starting to believe this was the price for having 19" rims and high perf. tires. Turns out it was a failed wheel bearing. Bearing was replaced under warranty and the noise is gone. Ahhhh...

 

The stock protenzas are terrible. Upgrade to Pilot Sports PS2!

 

I actually really like the stock Potenzas. However, they are noisey, but boy do they grip. They also look really nice too.

 

Wait till you try out the Pilot Sports...you will never want to go back to Protenzas.

 

Talk to me when you're down to your wear bars. I have yet to own a set of high perf. summer tires that are quiet once they past 50% wear.

 

Well, they don't look as nice as the Potenzas. Now, if only I can find some tires that looks & grip like Potenzas but aren't as noisey as them, I'll be set!
