I can't recall seeing anything about a noise like that on e46fanatics, and I was on there the entire 7 years I had my ZHP. Either way, the noise I have occurs exclusively in 6th gear, so not at low...

I've got the same thing, it happens at freeway speeds while feathering the gas. No throttle and the noise goes away. I drive 60 miles a day (at least) on the highway, so it's annoying.

I have the XS that I use for track days, and they work great for that. As a DD tire, they're not great: loud, not great wear characteristics, and notoriously bad in the rain.

There's a pretty big gap between the MSRP on RPF1s and the actual market price, which is under $1000 for a set. Hopefully price and offset will be comparable.
