Continental sportcontact 2 Tyre Noise.

[anarchycamp]

Have just excepted the noise as I love the car so much.
I think it seems to be more a drumming sound coming through the car
than the actual noise from the tread.
Thought about some kind of deadening under the arches at first but when
you look it it has a kind of felt material as the inner arch, and as mentioned
above the noise seems to be drumming and I dont think deadening would
work.

Try changing to 18's and Kumho's for a while...now thats tyre noise!!!!

Have you checked wheel alignment - if the tyres are scrubbing it willdefinately make the nosie worse.

But as others have said - it sux, but they all do it. Seems to be a particular weak point of the MkVs.

a Mate runs those contis in 195 /45 x15s on his mk1...great tyres...
has no problem with noise in that, and the interior is all stripped out.
