Tire noise?!

2000Hondadude · May 16, 2010

I have a 2000 Honda accord ex v6. I have 17 inch American racing coil rims with falken tires. IT started making this noise you hear like that noise when a truck has big tires with big tread. It's like a rumbling noise.any ideas???

I have Falken FK452s and they make quite a bit of noise on the highway/freeway.. but the freeways here suck so that's why. But on city roads, they're pretty quiet.

Check your toe. If your toe is off, the tire wears oddly, and causes that noise.

I went from a car sounding like a wheel bearing was finished, to silk smooth when switching between my two sets of wheels.

most tire noises are from the condition of ur roads.

did the noise happen after the tires were replaced? it's prob a noisy set of tires... waht falkens do u have? my 912s are fine..

I think it might be a wheel bearing. its all original suspension with 245,983 miles.. any good brand of bearing?

does the sound get louder when u go faster? if it's the wheel bearing, replace them with oem ones.. i think there's a diy somewhere...

road noise + balancing issue + plus lug nuts not being tight + plus falken tires + alignment needed + warped rim = rumbling..... It's a simple equation..
