Love my new G, but do think the tire noise (a musical hum, or ongoing, repeating "du-duuummm" harmonic sound on most freeways) is a bit much. Been told Bridgestones are quieter than the Goodyears, but could it be anything with the car? Dealer says its normal. Hmmm.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small"><EM>Edited by otismobile on 01/11/04 06:35 PM.</EM></FONT></P>

 

this behavior is very tire dependant - research on www.tirerack.com to find an alternative ... and maybe you might consider other tire sizes so as to have a broader selection

Thanks. It's not awful, just a little surprising. I'll check out that website.

 

Infiniti told me that my front 2 tires had flat spots after i told them about the humming sound that only appears to come when i'm on the highway. So i called Michelan and they sent me to a local place for replacement. Try calling the tire manufacturer if your tires are still new and you wont have to pay the pro rated price

My last car, Mustang GT, had Goodyear ZR's on it they were rather noisy, when I replaced them, I got BFG KDWS's, what a huge difference, they were so much quieter, those GY's had me thinking I had something wrong with the car, sounded like a bad rear-end at one point!

I had good luck with the KDW's in the past but the cost is nearlly that of the PZero Nero M+S and it is cheap for the ratings it gets on the tirerack. I currently have 225/50 17 Pilot A/Ss and I am getting rid of them after 11k beacuse of the noise. They still look like new but the noise has gotten worse as time has gone on. Maybe I am just less tolerant of it but I am going to try the Toyo Proxes4's to see if they are any better. The price is better 98 bucks for 245/45 17s from treadepot.com.

Good call. I'm seeing the dealer today; I'll mention what you said.
