Loud noise coming from tires?

neenjafus · 05-17-2008, 04:05 PM

Hey All,

I put a set of 19" bbs on my car with Falken FK452 235/265 a few days ago and have noticed quite a bit more noise.

I assume it's just tire noise but it sounds kind of odd so I figured I would ask if you all hear the same thing.

The sound is almost like a light grinding, as if maybe from the brakes. The car has less than 2k miles on it at the moment.

Mostly, I hear the sound when making low speed turns.

Is this common or should I take my car in?

Thanks!

take em back to the shop that mounted/balanced them. I am experiencing the same thing and first thing tomorrow morning I will head back out to them. seems that either a tire(s) is not round or bad. or the balancing is out of whack from the first time around. this is normal so be patient cause stuff happens.
