I am hearing a high pitched whine when driving in my 2000 Evo Orange Miata,
between 30-70 kms, but *only* on wet roads.  When the weather is dry, I
don't hear a peep from it.  Has anyone run across this?

Yeah, sounds like tires.
For example, Michelin Arctic Alpins are known of that.

Yup.  My Alpins did that as well: on wet (but not puddled)
roads at maybe 20-40 MPH.  Sounded a lot like a supercharger
turbo.

I meant turbo-charger, obviously.

Obviously?  Now who the hell charges turbos?  It is not a battery.

If you ask me, you meant turbo-supercharger.  A supercharger driven
by a turbine.

 To reply to me, the word Miata must be in the subject.
