I have the same problem, thought it was shot bearings until I read this. Seems at its worst at around 50mph on smooth quiet roads.

I have Dunlops too.

I have this issue too, and yes I run Dunlops. Was told you can have the set up adjusted, but then your handling will suffer.

Just turn the music up, and then you cannot hear it :smiley:

My tyres need replacing soon so I'm staying clear on the Dunlops, probobly get GoodYear or Conti's.

I can recommend the goodyears. I got them cheaper than the continentals. They have seemed to have made the tyre rumble from the dunlops better and the ride seems firm but fair now. On the dunlops I always found it was more harsh than my MK5 which was on bridgestones.
