Just bought 2 pieces of Silverstone FTZ Evo VIII 235/45/17 fro rm330/piece about 2 weeks ago and had it fitted to the rears.On the sidewall,the manufacture date printed was (5004).....and we have 48 weeks in a year....or do we have more? :dunno: Yes,Silverstone = noise.But the dealer claims this is the new gen of Silverstones,like the Kruizer...silica impregnated tyres...less noise.Right now,it is quiet.Maybe it'll start to howl in 6 months. :dunno: :lazy:
