Tire whine
08/06/16 at 10:27:32

Hi. Stock 2014 S40, 3250 miles. I've noticed lately some whine from the tires as I'm cornering at speed. I've double-checked the tire pressure and it's correct as per the manual (29 front, 33 rear I think). The only difference between now and three months ago is I'm a slightly better rider and have more confidence in the curves (still less than 12 months experience). I don't recall hearing this in the past.

Normal or something to be concerned about? Thanks.

The bike is garage kept and gets ridden, on average, at least five days per week. A mix of stop/go and country riding. No highway. Thanks...

When I was young, they didn't last very long. Cars didn't last long, either. I got five thousand miles, but they felt slimy, ready to wash out, so, corners weren't real fast.
