Hello all

I have just bought a V reg (1999) Honda Prelude 2.2 VTi Motegi in the
UK. This only my 2nd car (first was a Vauxhall/Opel/GM Cavalier) and
the first sports car I've owned. I am a bit concerned with the tyre /
road noise. I have 17" alloys and directional tread tyres to fit them,
all correctly fitted according to the arrows on each tyre to indicate
rotation direction.

I know it is difficult to express how loud the noise is in words!

Is there anything I can check or any other people who think / have had
excessive tyre /road noise?

Is it just to be expected that with such tyres/cars you do get
considerably more noise than with a car like the cavalier?

The wheel balancing, tracking, and tyre pressures seem OK by the way.

The only wheel steering problem I've had is when I stop normally at
lights, sometimes the steering wheel pulls gently but firmly to off
centre in either direction. Now this may just be the camber of the
roads in Liverpool (!) but my friend says it could bt tyre pressure,
or brake caliper settings being different on each side of the car?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Robert.
