PHUNBALL

It has been very cold here in Atlanta the past week and we had a few inches of snow on the ground. My TT is normally kept in the garage but has been out for the past week and sat out during the snow as well. Ever since this I have been hearing noises and a strange feeling ever so slightly when I am turning the wheel ~75% in either direction while doing ~5mph. It is almost a grinding sound but I cant tell what it is. It reminds me of driving a 4-wheel drive truck/SUV with the front/rear differentials locked on pavement, a feeling that the two front wheels are attempting to turn in unison and in doing so it feels like one is having excess pressure put on it and chafing against the ground....

Make sense? Any ideas?

What kind of tires are you running?

I'm on stock Potenza's which, at 20K miles and 3 track events, are quite ready to be replaced.

Stock Potenza's, Is it possible they are just getting cold and hard....?

TwinTTs

Still no idea what's causing this noise, but I have a service appointment tomorrow to investigate.

Is your TT affected by the upcoming recall? (Build date <03/00 I think)

My Potenza RE40's have 20K miles and 3 track events on them, and they are REALLY bald. Still, I don't see how they could cause the noise I'm hearing, but hopefully the noise will go away when I get new rubber later this week.
