Noisy Tires

32,100 miles and the tires are getting loud. I'm still hoping to get 40,000 miles out of the stock P-zero's, but we'll see. I've got a 2,000 mile road trip next month to Southern California and Las Vegas, and I may just get them replaced when I get back.

I'm looking for a good performance and wear compromise. My top pick at the moment are the Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position. One bonus is I have my Costco annual gift certificate, which just about covers two of these, assuming I can use it in their tire center.

What else? First door ding. A couple more chips on the hood; most occurred in the first six months. The B-Pillar remains quiet, or more accurately it's now a muffled rattle.
