    I stand corrected on that point ... four wheel double-wishbone with shocks
    and springs, fully independent rear. Notwithstanding that error in the story
    I was planning on sticking to, my general thesis remains unchanged: running
    tire inflation pressure significantly above the manufacturer-recommended
    value can have unintended and undesirable consequences.

  2. I never noticed much road noise from my Regatta's. Perhaps it increases as
    the miles increase?

    Actually it's just the opposite. I have about 4,000 miles on mine and
    they are getting quieter. I noticed it right away because I had
    Goodyear Integrity's before and they didn't have any road noise, but
    steering response sucked.

    No big deal, you really only notice it on the highway with the radio
    turned down, and like I said, it's getting better.

    We put the T/Ts on my wife's '03 Accord, and have been very happy with
    them here in the NE where all weather is a concern...[/QUOTE]

    I'll put in my vote for the T/Ts also. They handle the snow (here in SoDak)
    very well for being A/S tires. They also don't squeal on the pavement
    (surprising for being a high-mileage tire). They do ride a little rough, so
    if you want a softer ride, go for the ComforTreds.
