That sucks about the tire. I think the sound is startin to go away, but i wouldnt know right now cause i just wrecked mine. No body damage, but i messed up 3 wheels and my control arm is broke on left side so the front left wheel is kinda just on its own program, but it will be fixed in a week... thank god. Im startin to go thru withdrawls.... need car... must get it back......i promise to never hurt her again
