[DML] Re: Bad bearing or...? (Goodyear/Kelly Springfield)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Goodyear owns Kelly Springfield. They are basically the same tires
(made in Fayetteville NC, with cores from Laurel Hill NC).

Tire roar DECREASES as tread depth wears.

DeLo's are rather noisy on the highway. You're basically hurtling at
80 mph in a big Rubbermaid container inches from the pavement. Pull
back the THIN carpets and you'll see what you're up against. Moreover,
driving position puts you somewhat reclined against the back wheels
(with a transmission under your other shoulder). Allows all sorts of
outside noises migrate into the passenger compartment.
