Interesting. Just read up on this. So as the tires warm up they don't slip as much and better tires grip better illiminating the issue?

Thus Michelin PSS or RE-11s.

Mine still does it with the PSS's when backing up. Think wider the tire, the more it will happen.

Ha! PSS isn't the solution?

That's exactly what they are doing. Kind of like an earthquake. First, there is a build up of energy because the tire is not rolling perfectly straight and the treads are deformed. When the rubber can't deform any more, it snaps to the new position.

It's happening whenever you have the steering wheel near the extremes. When the tires are cold, they make more noise.

It's most noticeable in lighter cars with wider tires ... like a 370Z.
