Any one with Bridgestone tires have this complaint? I have about 700 miles on my Bridgestone exedra tires and I'm getting a whine between 50 & 58 mph. sounds like the front fender is singing to me, anything over 60 and it goes away. brgs and brakes were new when tires were installed, have run from 35 to 41 psi and nothing changes. I can run it up and kill the engine, as I coast down, it starts singing at 58 and quits at 50. I like the tires but the noise is annoying

I've used Exedras a long time and never heard any unusual noise, course it could be my ears.  I could hear the e3 dunlop the one time I used them. hoser

I had a Bridgestone on front that I thought was making a sound as you said. Turned out to be the Dunlop on back. Sounded just like the front, but then yours could be the front.

I put  another 185 miles on today, My wife says it is definitely the rear tire, all I have to do is lean slightly and the noise disappears. I guess it is just the tread design and I'm stuck with it for now. glad it's such a small rpm range.

Before I went darkside my favorite tire was the bridgestone, I never had any sound.

Next time, put the Bridgestone BattleAx 020 200/60 on the back.  You'll love it!

Just put Exedra 701's on my Valk.  Getting the same noise you describe. 

55 to 60 mph.  Not real happy.  Thinking I should have stayed with E3's.

Adjusting the tire pressure may attenuate the noise.
