Guess my ears are getting more sensitive in my old age.

Seriously, the tyre noise I hear has been present since the car was new and through a few sets of tyres. I cannot say that you are wrong though. Wish I had something to compare.

Remember, I did say on concrete highways... The noise is especially loud on those types of roads. On blacktop it isn't nearly as bad. Though now I prefer earplugs even then. Yes, I really do think I'm growing old and sensitive.

RC: on your German language forum there is something about the Pirelli Corsa which lists the Turbo. What is that about??
