Question for Luke?
I have a 2004 E500 and my set up is rear 255/35/18 font 245/40/18 running bridgestone S'03 I have about 7000 miles on them and the tread is still great but my issue is when I drive on the street about 35 to 50 miles per hour the tires scream on the frewway above 55mph the noise goes away I just kinda thought the car got lighter taking the pressure off of the tires. Is it just the tire or tire preassure? what do you suggest for pressure? or the weight of the vehicle?
Thanks

depends on the weather
S-03's are not quiet tires .... and I bet you find them noisier on grated concrete ...... you might try to run them at slightly higher pressure (like 36-38 psi ) to reduce some of the noise but that will also cause the center of the tire to wear faster
