You do get some noise in the form of a bit of whine. It's just part of the package. After a while, I doubt if anybody would really notice. Maybe in a really quiet vehicle it would be annoying, but not in this one.What to do with all these discarded is a bit of a head ache. Throwing them in landfills is simply wasteful. Not only do they take up landfill space we cannot afford to use, but tires are packed...
