Get some anti-static power for your tires.



Welllll... Okay, but do they make it in grades for the age of the asphalt?

Doubt it. I'm not sure what causes the change, but it's probably
something to do with the roughness of the surface. Either that , or
maybe a change in the rebar, grounding, etc under the new stretch. Cuz
of the rebar, most highways are actually pretty decent psuedo ground
planes for mobiles. Sometimes you will notice a drop when you leave
the road. The noise is real. I've noticed it for years, but never did
anything about it. It was the only source of noise I had on my car,
and probably the same in the old truck I've been driving lately. The
usual fix is a combination of the wheel bearing, cap, spring trick,
and the anti-static powder.. Which BTW, I don't even know where to
get...Myself, I just made use of the noise blanker at warp speeds...:/
