Subject: Re: Saab 9-5 Problems?


In Dallas, they recently redid a portion of the Dallas North Tollway. The first time I drove on the new pavement, it was incredibly quiet at 70 mph. I've never been in a vehicle that was so quiet, it was almost like the car wasn't moving! There was no wind noise and no tire noise. So it's my guess that the Michellin's are just a bit noisy on less than ideal surfaces. Perhaps when these tires wear out in a few years there will be a quieter option.. Kirby Krieger wrote: > 1.
