Do you find them noisy? I've got 4 of them brand new on a Ex35. I hear a whistling noise increasing withn the speed. I got the car right along with the brand new tires, so I can't be sure it's normal for Ex35 to have some kind of venting noise. Maybe it's that too.

Anyway.. it's getting on my nerves so I might want to buy Blizzak and get rid of the question.

What do you think?

I don't run champiros, but I just read a few reviews. It appears "tire noise" is a common gripe for the ice pro. But, whether that's the cause of your whistling noise, I don't know. I'd recommend trying to confirm the source of that sound before buying new tires. It would suck more if it doesn't go away with new tires. You might try having a passenger listen out open windows while you drive to see if it comes from' one area or all over. Check if there's any irregular tire wear or if the sound moves if you rotate the current tires. Next check around and especially underneath the car to see if there's anything minor loose. I have an old Toyota that used to make a speed sensitive whistling noise. Turned out to be a loose tinny small heat shield. If you can't find anything after that those kind of checking, then perhaps asking a mechanic to diagnose might be your next move. Good luck.
