P6s are very noisy ... Posted by CrNiFe [Email] (#408) [Profile/Gallery] (more from CrNiFe) on Sun, 3 Jun 2007 20:13:20 In Reply to: Either P6s are very noisy or very noisy car..., Jay, Sun, 3 Jun 2007 18:38:48 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I have had lots of SAABs, and many had P6s on them, and they are always noisy.
Currently, on our MY05 9-5 SW Arc, with 37000km (23000miles), the tires are driving me nuts. It is a leased vehicle, so I am bearing out the summer, but they will be changed. Even with rotation every 7000km or less, the inside rear edges start feathering (a comment which will provoke discussion on the set up of the rear camber and toe, I am sure), and when they are moved to the front, it makes more sound.
They have about a third of their tread left, and I won't be comfortable driving on them next winter, so I will switch to National Ovations, which is a private brand version of the Yokohamas, made at the plant in Virginia.
Much quieter - I have them on my MY99 9-5SW Linear, and they seem to wear evenly with rotation.
So, you are right about the tires, and partially right that it is because of vehicle characteristics.
