New tyres went on the Straight 8 today. Very happy with the look. They roll well but make quite a lot more noise that the Fatty-Os.

Buzzz / humm - like there is a bee hive around. Sorta like knobbies - but not nearly as loud. No vibes like knobbies though. The centre tread is in blocks so it makes sense that they would make more noise than a cut slick like the fatty-o. Anyway it's not excessive - just ... there.
 
Ah I see. Thats the kinda stuff noone really notices but you, which makes it even more annoying [emoji39] just got some whitewall balloons by p346 for my cruiser. Wont have that problem cus the threads are paralell along the tire. Anyway, looks great, just listen to music or something while riding[emoji23]

Tire slap I think it's called. It's very present on some tires. It's like the bike tubes amplify it!?
