I am having tire/wheel issues. I took my car and had the tire checked at DTC tires today and I was told that Tire is in really good condition. I had a humming sound coming from front right I decided to put tire in rear right, and then the noise went to the rear. I kinda got a clue it was the tire but just to be sure I moved tire to other side rear left and now the noise is coming from there. I am 100% sure it is the wheel/tire and the tire has 75% tread really good condition just got checked today and I did not need a new tire, also wheel has no bends. What could this be?

U sure there's no uneven wear at all?

Also, is the tire really cheap? Cheap tires will start making road noise early in my experience...

SIDreamer

Im not sure if the tires are cheap. All the other tires are good. It's just that one. It is killing my. I just switched it from rear left, to right and again the noise moved. Should i get a new tire? I don't want to get a new tire and the noise stays there, I just never had a problem like this -_-

is it the same brand and size as the rest of them? how much tread do your other tires have?

SIDreamer

Yea there all the same brand and all all tires have the exact same of tread left.

I know it sounds weird, but thats why I took it to the tire shop and they told me tires are good, I checked my wheel bearings, they are good. The only thing I have bad is my passenger axle which I am changing on saturday.

Tires are Westlake SP06, have not heard of these before. Can nott find a good review to see if any one had wrote that there noisy.

I would say get at least two new name brand tires. not ones youve never heard of. Get the alignment checked too.

SIDreamer

The reason those tires are on the wheels, I just picked up the wheels this weekend tires where already on wheels. After i get it aligned, and change the axle, if the noise continues I will purchase the tire.

Did the tire shop check the balance on the wheel when they checked it's tread wear?
Has fix-a-flat ever been used on this noisy tire?
How old are the tires?

SIDreamer

They where checking for a cupped tire. They said the tread was in ery good shape even all around. Now im not sure if a Fix-A-Flat has ever been used since I just got the wheels/tires. They tires look pretty new they have plenty of tread left.

SIDreamer

If anything I will just keep tire until time to replace. It is causing no vibration or nothing just a repetitive humming noise. The tire looks in very amazing shape. Tread is even all around no camber wear. This problem is driving me crazy, but might be something I have to deal with for now.
