Tire humming sound

I Wanna go Fast! · 03-22-2011, 12:56 PM

Just put the summer tires back on and now they slightly hum, especially when on curves and I can sorta feel it in the breaking. They did not do this when I took them off last year.

They are torqued with correct TP.

Is it possible that having put them on opposite sides could cause this? Perhaps they wore differently?

What do you think?

FYI, it seems to be just the fronts.

I can't imagine swapping sides would do this, but I guess it's possible.

I've noticed what I can only describe and bumpy vibration on fronts occasionally, almost as though I can feel the tread blocks under braking. Weird, I know.

I haven't done anything to mine, and they started 'humming' with just 2/32" of wear (on the inside). Just noticed that on my last trip. Thought it was the tranny, so downshifted to 5th and same noise, meaning it was the tires. What threw me off is it was rhythmic, not constant (MMMMMMMMmmMMMMMMMM), but guess tires do that. And yes, it was coming from the front. POS tires

. They were noisy before, but this is ridiculous. As soon as DWSs are available, they'll be gone. Good day gang.
