make that number three.  I have a set of these (195/55/15) mounted on my 
Integra.  they are loud, especially compared to the other tires I have had 
on the car (Dunlop SP9000 & Bridgestone RE010).  the noise started after a 
few hundred miles.  they make the most noise on smooth, newly paved 
roads.  these days I don't notice the noise as much.  I am not sure if it 
is because I have become used to it or if the noise has gone away.  I have 
about 8000 miles on them.
