make that number three. I have a set of these (195/55/15) mounted on my
Integra. they are loud, especially compared to the other tires I have had
on the car (Dunlop SP9000 & Bridgestone RE010). the noise started after a
few hundred miles. they make the most noise on smooth, newly paved
roads. these days I don't notice the noise as much. I am not sure if it
is because I have become used to it or if the noise has gone away. I have
about 8000 miles on them.
