size 215/55 R16 97V, passat b6 sedan. Because I am not a racer, I was a bit concerned about the characteristics of the tire, which are mostly demonstrated in the testing. This was a problem for me while selecting rubber. I decided to take it with the sole expectation that the pricey tire would not make any noise. However, it turned out to be rather loud. It occurred to me that perhaps the issue lies with the bearings, the suspension, or something else entirely. After inspecting, listening to, and looking over the vehicle at the service station, I determined that there were no problems with it. I believed that I was being overly picky, so I went to a friend of mine who drives a trade wind. He has a Nexen, and while he is going 20 kilometers per hour, he does not hear any noise at all coming from the rubber. Then to a different buddy who rides the trade wind, he also has a Pirelli noise, but it is not as loud, and the profile and width of his tires are both 17th and lower. Both trade winds are station wagons, and there should be noisier from the road anyhow given the nature of the vehicles. After driving for 430 miles (700 kilometers), I've decided to get my tires aligned, have them recheck the balance, and take a closer look; it's possible that my wheels are still misaligned, or that anything is amiss with the rubber. When I arrived, I immediately brought up the issue of loudness. Removed, double-checked everything, re-adjusted the balance, and made sure everything was running smoothly. They are saying that the tires and wheels are on fire. can't make sounds. They continued to make light of the situation by joking that the noise was most likely caused by the letter W that was affixed to the rear of the object. So it seems that Michelin is unable of producing any sound. I suggest to the chief that we go for a drive. After settling in, we slowed to 20 kilometers per hour as we down the hill leading away from the tire shop. People prifigel: We went back to the tire fitting, and he told his fellow workers that those tires truly create a racket; he said the entire road could be heard. They raised the machine, rotated it while listening to the bearings, and then examined the guts of the machine. They report feelings of shock. Another teammate of ours purchased the exact same tires, and here is his commentary on them: "Plus. Over the weekend, I too took a set of primacy 3, and I was astounded by the noise that starts after traveling at 90 kilometers per hour. compared to Michelin, took Dunlop, which has since gone silent. Still, later, when I began to dig for information on this model, I saw a test: . Other models will be quieter than the Shtml maybe 215/55, which are really loud. I was initially dissatisfied. If the noise doesn't bother you too much, then of course you'll be able to put up with it. How many kilometers are there? a thousand. There is a review from a customer who claims the tires are excellent and exactly the same size, but I don't understand how this is possible.
