Those tires have mixed reviews online with regards to noise, but they are performance tires. Check the wheel bearings, too.chappy wrote:

Mechanic raised the car and spun the wheels and says it's not the bearings.MacGyver wrote:Those tires have mixed reviews online with regards to noise, but they are performance tires. Check the wheel bearings, too.chappy wrote:

Thanks for the sites!vibrologist wrote:Welcome Chappy!
Nice Vibe! Mine was noisy too when I got it. The original tires were worn down and low quality anyway. I put on Michelin Defender tires and it made a huge difference right away. Check the reviews on Tire Rack and here:http://tirereviewsandmore.com/ to find quiet running tires.
Sounds cool, but potentially impractical at times. Although all cell phones have a flashlight anyways...maybe I should've gotten UV black...SickVibes wrote:Looks good. I'm running UV black lights in mine. Makes everything glow. I love them except when I try to find something in the dark that doesn't glow
Yes. That's normal. Goes down auto and not up auto.chappy wrote:Sounds cool, but potentially impractical at times.

Haha! Thanks for buyer's remorse.
Know of any UV black and white LEDs? Would be two in one kind of deal.

Awesome! I have proven quite a few times you can most definitely get great mileage out of the 2.4L by simply altering your driving habits a bit.chappy wrote:Also went to Algonquin Park the past weekend (300 km or 185 mile one-way) and got 6.68L/100km (35mpg) with 4 people and trunk semi-full (so I can still see out the back). Speed held was 90-100kph (55-60mph) and kept tach below 2000. Happy that I got above 30mpg and tires didnt blow up.
