Questions about Radial Tires..

Today I realized that my tires put off quite a loud hum. I sat in the back seat for the first time today and I was amazed. This brings me to two questions, what would be the best all weather tire to go on the stock rims (99 SE-L) that do not put off such a lound hum. (I live in Boston, and I keep my stock rims on year round) My second question is that I had heard that radials can only go a certain way. Is this true? If so, how do you tell which qay thay should be going?

Some not all radials are uni directional, they are usually marked with arrows on the tire indicating the rotation direction if they have specic mounting requirements. There has been a lot of satisfied
forum members that have the Dunlop SPORT A2s. I am personally running Dunlop SP 5000s which are also an excellent tire, they are a V Rated Symetrical tire. I think you would be pleased with either one. Dunlop makes an excellent price performance tire.
