New tires are on, the old ones are on the way back to TireRack.
First 20 miles, the tires feel and sound great - NO NOISE! Which means I don't have to replace the rear wheel bearings. So I have 2 rear, new in the box, wheel bearings on the shelf. It seems my first set of GoodYear tires ever, left me with a bad impression. We will see how my first set of Michelins do.
