rb270 Member 2 Member For: 15y 13d Posted 13/02/10 11:55 AM Share Posted 13/02/10 11:55 AM I am in the market for a FG XR6 Turbo, I test drove a July 08 build date car last week and was very suprised with how noisey it was at around 40km/h. The current owner suggested it was tyre noise - the car is running standard 18 inch wheels and Dunlop tyres. Has anyone else had this issue?

And cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cement roads are the worst I.e. M1 between Brisbane & Gold Coast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to a Ford Dealer and they suggested Kumo tyres would be quieter, Cheers. If anyone is aware of any Auto FG XR Turbos for sale, preferably in SA, please let me know.
