bluesuby Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I bought 4 new Continental DWS 06 tires a week ago. Probably have around 300 miles on them Driving under 60mph everything is great, but the tires start singing over 60. I'm hoping once I have more than 6 heat cycles the tires will settle in and shut up. I chose the DWS 06 tires because I was very happy with the old set of DWS tires which didn't really get noisy until they had well over 50,000 miles on them. Does anyone have any experience with these tires and will I eventually have reduced noise at speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Is your alignment good? A lot of toe in or toe out will contribute to massively to tire noise.

JJr Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Agree with alignment, normal break in period is 500 miles.

bluesuby Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Alignment is good. Done when tires were bought. I guess I'll put a couple hundred more miles on the tires and have a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henhead Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Mounted correctly? I've got the same tires on my wagon and I dont notice any increase in tire noise above 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
