Default Interesting observation about heat and RE730 tire noise.

In the very recent past a few folks here have complained about the RE730 road noise. Driving home a few days ago in the heat, I noticed that the RE730's get <b>a lot</b> louder when the roads are very hot. I noticed this out on the track too, where ambient temps where ~100F. For my ride home the ambient temps were about ~90F and this was late in the day. Seems like once the road surface heats up to a certain point, the tires become much noiser. Anyone else observe this behavior?<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=2696">

Default I have noticed noise when turning slowly, like in a parking lot.

Otherwise, they are much quieter than my 040's were or the Goodyear's on my wife's Lexus.
