Winter Tyre Whine?

<< < (2/2)

Andy:
they will whine a bit   as they wear in more

chigmuss:
Got winters on our lasses Touran, that whines, as if the temps are above freezing the winters get really soft. Check it for yourself, you can move the tread blocks real easy the warmer the weather. I'd not worry about it too much, you'll know when you get your new wheels on. BTW what wheels you 'upgrading' to then?

Lone_Par:
Thanks for the reply lads. I think I'm just noticing it more as I've been without a stereo and my ears just pick up on it now.

It's more noticeable when you lean towards the front bulkhead (where the front windscreen vents are - which are off!) and it sounds like a whine/whistling wind sound. It doesn't seem to alter really and is noticeable over 20mph. I've also noticed that under light breaking the noise goes away pretty much.

The car is at the dealers next week to get the dodgy stereo repaired/replaced so might ask them to give it a once over anyway for peace of mind.

As for summers, not sure yet. Fancy the 3SDM 005s but debating whether to stay on 17s. Living in the frozen north I will not be looking to change until about April, so will be looking more over the next few weeks.
