That is my understanding also.

Or your tracking/cambers were out as well, this can cause sawtoothing and tramlining, or maybe the old tyres were soft and set a benchmark of expectation in your head,

I'm running 4 Mich's right now on a S90 and she's pretty quiet as it's something that is dead obvious to me if I get a noisy set of boots.
