I like huge rear wheel drive estates, so just bought this '52 Vauxhall Omega V6 Estate, good price, good condition, low miles (54k). I've had one before and like them.

But . . . . there's a kind of whining noise. I can't isolate it to one area like front, back, left, or right. Low pitched when slow, high pitched at speed, almost disappears above 70mph. Car is fiited with new-looking tyres branded "Sunny".

So is it cheap tyres or something more sinister ? I'm off driving in Europe very soon, so need a bit of confidence in what I'm driving. If it's the tyres I can live with it and replace them at some stage.

Cheers
