    2000 v40 with 82k miles....

    This car has had all scheduled maintenance and always garaged in a dry climate...

    Recently my car (owned since it was new) has started a "droning noise" when over 50 mph....annoyingly loud.

    The last time a replaced the tires I put on steel belted radials, wondering if these 2 year-old tires could be the cause of this noise?

    Struts were replaced a few years ago.

    Car has performed really well over the years (driven very carefully/conservatively)

    Anyone else experience this droning noise?

    Thanks in advance for any info...
