  1. WOW!!! WHERE DID YOU DO THAT!!! FARRROUT!!
  2. hey guys, just joined the forum hope this serves as an introduction for me as well as a resourse for help :D .....please bear with me i dont usually use forums lol Introduction: HIIIIII GUYS!!!!! I'm a sydney sider and i live in the st george suburb area (like 10 mins from M5 lol) Own a Toyta Kluger Grande AWD which got delivered to me on 29th of feb 2008......love this car heaps!!!! huge improvement over my first car which was a 1997/8 mitsubishi verada Ei ......in black with cream/tan/beige (not sure what its really called) Leather :D.....it's done 23200Kms..i'll take some pics later and upload well thats the intro done with....now down to my question/problem at hand I've had the kluger since last year and it's fabulous, has never put a foot wrong! really quick, comfortable and very economical (i usually get an average of 10.5 ltr/100km on my display).... Usually it's very quiet and hused with little or no wind/road noise BUT ever since i bought this car there is a lot of tyre roar/noise that gets transmitted into the cabin...even compared to my old mistubishi verada.... however the tyre noise is gone when i get on smooth/new road surfaces like some bits of the M5 but any other "normal" roads (not nessearsily bumpy or undulated) dishes out alot of tyre noise.... I especially noticed this when i took it down to melbourne last year to visit family using the hume highway and the road roar from the tyres got to a point where it was very anoying and tyring... i think this was amplified by the fact that there were a lot of roadworks along the hume highway at the time and roads were upto usual standard...... I can drone it out by turing the music up (volume level past "15") This tyre noise thing became even more aparent when i went out with a couple of my mates and i got a chance to drive a Honda MDX (the last model they sold before discontinuing it) and an Aurion Pressara...It was a lot more quiter inside the cabin both those cars.... I usually run my tyre pressures at 32psi all round, i think thats the recomended one (not sure), it's been the same since i got it.... Is there any solution other than changing to a different brand/type of tyres??? If it's the only way then whats a good brand??? I'm one of those 99% city/higway and 1% (even less) offroad kind of person. Thanks i advance guys.....i think i wrote an essay lol..... either way my first ever forum post
