No, except where there are imperfections like coming to a stop light, but had that with the motorcycle tire as well.

It is a Toyo Proxes R1R 205/55-16 from Tire Rack that was being discontinued as a 140 AA A tire. It is still available as a 200 AA A tire

Thanks RDKLL , I just ordered this same tire from Tire Rack. You got me with that pic , that is one good looking tire . Hope it handles as good as it looks . You were right , it is now the  200 AA A. type.
