Hi All,

Sorry to raise this again.

The dreaded Duelers are fitted. There is a lot of road noise from the rear above 30 mph which is spoiling the enjoyment of the vehicle. I have a replacement tyre make in mind, but how can I be sure that the noise is not something more serious, like a wheel bearing?

Dealer has checked twice and insists that its tyres.

What if I swap front to rear?

All help appreciated.

The duelers are noisy. Just look at the noise rating on tirerack for the different tires and you will see what I mean.

Its The Tires!
Those duelers suck and they get crappy mileage.
I have heard good things about the goodyear assurance on this forum

Good Luck
