noisy Bridgestones?
« on: 05 February 2008, 20:40 »
I've got the standard 17inch alloys...with Bridgestone RE050s..I find they have become quite noisy at around 40mph on certain road surfaces....almost like a droning noise..and very noticable....I hope it's the tyres. :undecided:

Are they running low on tread?  I have heard that once some brands get low on tread they get noiser and tramline / torque steer more...   Try swapping fron to rear and see if that helps any :wink:
