Yes it does exist. I bet the greater bulk of the noise I get at road
speeds is tire static. If I stop, even with the engine running, it's
pretty quiet. But at highway speeds, my noise will jump up a good bit.
I've heard of various cures, ranging from anti-static powder in the
tires, to springs you insert in the wheel bearing caps to make a
better electrical connection across the bearings I presume. I've never
bothered trying any of them yet. I just turn on the NB... MK
