Default so much road noise

alright....i got FULDA CARAT ATTIRO tires on my integra and they have sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much road noise. you can really hear the tires from 20-40mph and its even louder when im braking to a stop sign. i can also FEEL it through the floor of my car when braking.
it sounds like.... v v v v v v v every quarter second

my question is....
is it the tires or what?

i bought the car used, i think the previous owner cheaped out and got these tires.

well if you can feel it in the pedals when braking you've got alignment issues, misbalanced tires or a manufacturers defect in the tire. to be safe, get an alignment and balancing done!

does it drive straight and everything?


If it does, then it's probably just the tires.
Some are louder due to the compounds they are made out of.

I don't know if we're talking about the same compound, because the ones I tried were labelled differently.

They were certainly very, very noisy...to the point that people couldn't hear me on the car's Bluetooth.

There are so many better tyres available for around the same price. I replaced them with Kumho ASX (because of the need for all season, all weather) and these are doing great.
