RE: Pinging(?)

["Eric Drayer" <ejdrayercpa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just finished a cross country trip on my 00 blue st.  Naturally I was not on
the interstates.  Actually I was so far from civilization most of the time I
didn't have the luxury of choosing brands of gas and even octane some of the
times.  When at altitude in eastern Oregon, Idaho, and Wyoming there were
several times when I had no choice but to use 85 octane....when I had a
choice premium was 86.5 octane.  Anyway no pinging problems at all.

    I don't know if it's exactly the same problem, but I've been
noticing for a while now that I occasionally hear some sort of odd noise
when pulling away.  It's not pinking though.  I first thought that it
was the tyre kicking up debris, but I'm not so sure any more.  The chain
is correctly adjusted.

    I've only noticed the noise since I started using Metzeler tyres,
MeZ4s and now MeZ3s.
