Hello Justin,

Thanks for the information; it has given me a much better inside now.

One of the biggest problems I have with my tires is the noise. It is hard to explain, but it starts coming from the front at around 25 MPH, until around 55MPH. The best you hear it is around 30-35 MPH. It's something like a very high pitch grinding noise. The volume of noise can be different depending on the road conditions and I also think on temperature. At first I thought it where the bearings in the front wheels, as I also thought I felt the noise a little bit from my steering wheel. As my wheel bearings have been replaced (there was a known problem with these, I think they where originally to narrow??) and my Jaguar dealer could hear anything coming from the bearings, we waited until I put on the winter tires to be sure. But what made me a bit suspicious, is that they to heard the noise, and also thought it could have something to do with the bearings. Also, I only hear the noise coming from the front, not from the back.

What would you make out of this?

BR/Andre.
