| My 75,000 mile 07 GS has suffered from a background noise, like a dry bearing or transmission drone, for the past few months without really getting any worse. The Haldex had been replaced under warran ... |

Well, I've had the Hankook's for over a year now (and about 9000 miles) and they still look like the day I bought them, and that's after 2 Scottish winters ! Never let me down yet.

Mine have been gr ... |

| I've had two full sets of Wranglers and never really liked them. Changed them for Hankook Dynapro HP RA23 235/65 R17 H (108), Reinforced, in January and rate them highly. Cost was just shy of £450. |

Seems like a similar story to my own. Hope that you get it sorted soon. My biggest bugbear was the number of times I had to re-visit the garage, as it aint all that handy for me.
They did give me a ... |

Oldie, did the dealer happen to mention if they found fault codes during diagnostics. Also was the warning coming up continuously or would it just come up once and then go away?
I think that I did ... |
