    Strange noise

    Already tried but the noise has no link with the air-conditionning. Currently I do not ear the noise any more, seems that my car prefers warmer weather ;-)

    Tyres, what brands are people running?

    Sort I wrote good tire not goodyear (my phone changed it). You may be right, this size isn t easy to find. That s why I think 215 45 17 should be the best option in 17" to get a full choice even semi slick.

    Failed CV Joints (DriveShaft)
