[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 906927, member: 3828"] I've had a few sets of PR2's on the FJR now and have also noticed "the buzz". I've always felt that it was coming from the front tire, usually most evident when leaned into a turn. I really feel it more than hear it as I always wear earplugs. And in the two fronts I have run through, it seems worst in about the middle of the tire's life and then lessens somewhat as the tread gets closer to null. I knew to look for it because some of the earliest adopters of the PR2's felt that this was a design flaw of the tread pattern. I do not. I just don't worry about it. I have another new PR2 front waiting in the garage to be put on whenever I get off my ass and do it. Having seen ionbeams rear, B spec, buzzing tire, none of my non-B spec rears ever wore with as much "scallop" to the tread pattern back there. FWIW - I also used to get the "buzz" from the Pirelli Diablo Strada front tires when they were well worn. Nothing to worry about IMO. [/QUOTE]
