Give us a review on the HTR ZIII after you have some miles on them.

I have 15,000 miles on my second set of HTR ZII. I drive the Boxstir about 5,000 miles a year. For the past year I have had noise from the rear that I thought might be tire noise, but I did not think so because this is my second set of HTR ZII and the first set did not make noise. The noise is the same no matter the speed, or if I am on or off the gas. I did not have the noise when the tires were new.

Then I thought maybe wheel bearings but the noise did not change when I turned. Then I thought a bearing in the transaxle.

I had my clutch replaced 3 months ago by Marvin Weitz and I asked him to check the noise. After the transmission was out I went by the shop to see the car up on the rack. Marvin showed me that the inside of the rear tires were cupped, and he thought that was the source of the road noise.

I tend to agree with Marvin. Just strange this did not happen with the first set.

Might be some HTR ZIIIs in my future depending on your reivew.
