Default What would you do with tire noise

I got the tires inspected and they are all in very good condition. I have this one tire that seems to be making a humming noise no matter what side of car that I put it in. It is not that loud but gets loudest over 55 mph. Does not make steering wheel shake or anything. Would you buy new tires or just deal with the noise. I know it's a wierd question but I would rather see what other people think. I myself feel like getting new tires but I am not sure using the money for tires when my tires are already good is a good idea. I have over 75% tread left too. Let me get your feedback. Thanks

I'd just turn up the radio / stereo / whatever a bit and live with it.

BTW, are your tires directional? If they are, I'd swap the wheels around so that the tread is pointing backwards and drive them for a good while. Mind you, I'd only do this when the roads are dry.

How old are the tires?
Do you see any irregular tire wear (cupping, etc...)?
Is there any "Fix-a-Flat" in the tire?

Tires are fairly new. No tire wear or cupping. Tires have never had to be repaired or etc. they are oin good condition

Well, there might be some structural differences causing the noise as well. If the tires are wearing properly, are still relatively young, and have no prior history of air loss, I would just ignore the tire noise.
