Bridgestone Noise

[mswaz]

Anyone else think these Bridgestones are getting a lot louder as the miles build up. I have 1900 miles and maybe its just me, but road noise seems to be getting really bad.

I have 4900 miles on mine and they sound the same to me.

Little hint: tire noise increases with dropping temperatures. As soon as the temperature drops below 51 degrees F, the tires get "stiffer" and therefore they produce more noise.
For temperatures below 51 degrees F, winter tires are recommended (but don't expect any advantage on the noise front).

Can I ask you what pressure you are running with OEM setup? I`m using 2.8 rear and 2.5 front (which is lower than I used to pump the 21" 215s).

Thanks!

Well I can somewhat agree with the statement that they get louder the colder it gets, however they are really loud. I have 19K on mine and I will be replacing them soon due to ware and noise.
