Is it normal when your tires make a loud humming sound while driving

HLeasy · 09-10-2009, 09:01 AM

i just got some new tires mounted on my 17 wheels about a week now
the tires are 225/45/17, every time i drive, slow or fast, the sound keeps coming

i wanted to know if this was normal, or b/c its brand new tires, and it would slowly go away as it ware out

UniqueTW · 09-10-2009, 09:34 AM

what kind of tires are they ?

ocdcivic · 09-10-2009, 09:38 AM

Is your car lowered at all? Only reason I ask is that if you have done a lot of aggressive driving with bad camber settings you could have worn the tires irregulary already.

+1 for brand of tires.

+1 for info

does the soudn go away depending on t he surface you drive on?

does the soudn change as you vary speed?

SiLentPower · 09-10-2009, 10:51 AM

Yeah, we do need to know what tires. Different tires have different noise ratings. For instance, bf-goodrich t/a kdw's are really noisy on the highway

High Revs Si · 09-10-2009, 10:55 AM

If you're running the OEM 17's why did you go wider?

asianskater91 · 09-10-2009, 11:03 AM

i think it would be because all the new tread on there...i mean if you hear trucks with like deep tread you can always hear a humming noise inside and outside of the vehicle but thats jus what i think...

Also is your air pressure at the proper level?

i think the tires have a good factor, i just changed my tires and noticed a huge difference in the road noise. love my new tires now

If you mean the speed you are driving doesn't matter, then it might be the wheel bearing is failing....

asianskater91 · 09-10-2009, 01:15 PM

^^^that would suck haha

HLeasy · 09-10-2009, 02:03 PM

Yup~~if the loud hum can almost surpass the sound of your music~~~then go check your wheel bearing soon. There's a recall on ABS o-ring that's relate to this problem.....

returnoftheSi · 09-10-2009, 06:37 PM

Could be those crappy Wanli tires or the wheel bearings. Do you have another set of wheels/tires you could temporarily swap to see if the sound goes away? Or maybe swap on a buddy's set and do a quick test. If the sound doesn't go away it's most likely the bearings.

iDrive · 09-10-2009, 06:38 PM
