MJM,
I called Tirerack and the sales rep said the noise is a "known issue" with the Gen 1 RE730s. (Maybe thats why you got them at such a discount from the shop. ) They said I would purchase a set of tires from them, send the old ones back to Tire rack, they would pro-rate the amount of tread left on the ones and apply it to the brand new set of tires. I have a fear that If they saw that feathering they would say it was an alignment problem and renege on their offer .
Also, I'm not sure they will pay for shipping of the old tires back to them. IF I had to pay for shipping of the old tires + mounting and balancing from a shop (and they usually charge about $10/tire more if you aren't buying tires from the shop)..when it's all said and done, the pro-rated discount might amount to nothing. I'll keep you posted. I;'ve heard that calling the corporate office might get you somewhere, as well.
George
