This seems to be a complaint from many NG900 owners. Have your allignment checked first.
Stay far, far away from BF Goodrich KDW tires. I went with a 215-50-16 fitment and for the first week the noise was not bad, but I'm now on my next season (after living with snow tires and rims for 5 months) and I'm looking to replace these tires. They have plenty of tread left and the car is not chewing them up. I must say they do stick the best of any tire I've tried, but the noise is not worth it (they are ZR rated). To explain my drivign style. I also own a Volvo 850 Turbo wagon and have a set of Nankang tires on it and they are very quiet and ride great, but give up a little in the corners (VR rated). My wife and I trade off cars and I would say that she has the Saab more than I do and she drives like, well, a woman, so the tires have 70% or better easy miles and are still noisy. I have the Saab Stainless exhaust and it is louder than stock, but the tires are far worse.
I am also looking for a decent tire at a reasonable price for my Saab.
