[BiturboS4] Pirelli P6000

[Marc A. Abernethy]

If you think the P6000 are loud, do not try the SO3.  At 50 mph they vibrate everything
in the car.  I have tried a bunch of stuff with not luck.

I found that if I drive 90 mph everywhere you can't hear the tire noise over my wife's
screaming.  Seems to have fixed the problem.
