Re: Yoko noise

["tmpintnl" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Erik - The Yokohama AVS Intermediates have a very aggressive shoulder 
tread design that will create quite a bit of noise during cornering. 
The separate shoulder blocks shift around to provide for maximum grip 
in the turns. I had talked to a tire expert (whatever that means) 
when I first selected these tires, and he warned me that I would hear 
them "talking to me" when I was driving in 'sport mode'. If you don't 
see early wear of the tires, and all other aspects of your car are 
correct, the noise should be expected. I had the last set I bought 
siped, and the noise level *seems* to be lower. However, with all of 
my urethane up front, I get other parts of the car "talking to me". 
Keep the shiny side up.
