They sing because they're happy, they sing because they're free......

 

You should remove the mufflers.

 

I don't notice mine singing.

 

I've wondered about that because the tread pattern is fairly aggressive, in my opinion.

 

If they hum.......
it's because they forgot the words to the song.

All seriousness aside, I hear* that they are relatively quiet.

..

 

Don't have any but they sure look right on all those roadsters and opened wheeled coupes

 

I've talked to the guy who runs this Bentley a couple of times since he put them on it and all he said is there is a world of difference in the way it drives.
The car is a beast and his friends say he wheels it at a pretty good clip down the highway.

 

I ran a pair on my 32 front . Did not notice anything on usual.

 

Mine do not, could be your axle gears or the bearings?

 

Mine are quiet

 

Ran both bias and radial Excelsiors on the Zipper and never noticed any excess noise.

 

My Excelciors run fine, no excessive or unusual tire noise.

 

There are two different things that go on with tire noise. One is the whine of the tread on the pavement, and the other is from the air hitting the tread blocks, mostly on the front. If it is an issue of the airflow over the tread it will be less noticeable on more aerodynamic or full fendered cars. I'm sure most of us can remember how highboy 4WD pickups used to have that front tire whine from running bias ply traction tires on the front, and it seemed like you never noticed it with 2WD pickups sitting lower and running highway tread tires.

 

you are not imagining things, the Excelsiors radials do sing

 

Thanks for the input. I have the same experience. Just drove 60+ miles on fresh new silkie asphalt and they did sing. Not bad for awhile but became anoying.
Im just down the road from diamond backs. Ill check in.
Keep me posted.

A substitute tire four Excelsiors is a Tire for Electric vehicles 16 inch Bridgestones
Around $100

 

This is useless information without the tire model and size specifications and also a link to the online information.
Pictures would be good too.

 

Those were 195/80r 16 Bridgestone ecopia but I can't seem to find them anywhere now. Look interesting when I saw them some time back. Was for electric or hybrid cars around 2000.

When I found this tire I was using Cooker tire catalog for tire specs , then going threw other manufactures tires
Compurter !

 

Sizes?

 

Auburns; 5.50-16 front and 7.50-16 rears.

 

Have to look and see if they do a 7.00 -16
Might try them when the Excelciors wear out.

 

Thanks. Confirms my suspicions.

 

The do have 7.00 X 16". I just looked.

 

I looked too but I do see a problem, they don’t appear to have any 5.00x16” which is what I have on the front now with my Excelciors
