Well, my supercool (to my eye anyway) gray tires started cracking too muchfor comfort. Gray rubber is old fashioned natural rubber and beingnon-vulcanized, cracks like old fashioned tires did. These kept crackingalong the seam though, so the tire company very kindly exchanged them for ablack set, which won't have any of those problems. Just put them on, and it's she kinda looks different.Supposed I'll get used to it!Douwe________________________________________________________________________________

Michael,You have a good memory. A quick search brought up the following->From http://www.theautochannel.com/mania/ind ... 00/118.htm[Why'd They Do That? - Car Antennas]John McElroy, American Driver"And, finally tonight, in a segment we like to call Whyd they do that, Im goingto attempt to explain why all car antennas are not alike. While many antennasare smooth, have you ever noticed how some others look like they have a wirewrapped around them, or have a spiral groove in them? You know what thats for?Its to cut down on wind noise and vibration. That spiral shape actually helpsthe antenna slice through the wind more easily, so its quieter. When an antennais mounted on the front fender, as the wind comes off it, that noise is actuallydirected right at the driver. These spiral-type antennas direct the noiseoff to the side of the car. And you know how automotive engineers test theseantennas to see how quiet they are? They go outside and swish them around likeswords!">From http://www.topspeed.com/cars/ford/2007- ... .html"Even the radio antenna was scrutinized. By modifying the pitch and height of thespiral by tenths of a millimeter, wind noise was reduced by as much as twodecibels.">From http://www.autoworld.com/cutlass.htm"The radio antenna has a spiral-ground groove to prevent wind whistles."However, I don't think wind noise is an apples-to-apples comparison to drag. Iam not an aeronautical engineer nor did I sleep in a Holiday Inn Express lastnight, but I don't think the logic behind one translates directly to the other.--------Semper Fi,Terry HandAthens, GARead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: 3 days to rebuild--very impressive
