ok when i bought my car it had brand new 195/55 dunlop sport tires on it..the ride was as quiet as could be..2 months later i put a suspension on the car (GC coilovers w/ KYB struts) and the ride was still quiet..month or so later i noticed something getting louder from the front and it sounded like trucks do with semi-huge tires on it..
so i looked at the tires and noticed the fronts wearing down way faster then the back so i rotated the 2 backs to the front and fronts to the back and now the noise is way louder like im riding on 33" mud tires..so the only thing im thinking is since the back has more camber issues then the front the camber is causing the noise..whats your guys input on this and is there anything i can do to stop it like get the tires rebalanced or something??

try having an alignment done or get camber correction kit that should help

 

the alignment is perfect..the front camber isnt bad and i dont wanna switch the tires around again so the 2 wear faster then the other 2 and im left with 2 good and 2 bad..

some tires make more road noise then others. ive seen sites that say how much road noise to expect with a rating system they have. maybe check http://www.tirerack.com

True, but..these tires were never this loud

Same thing happened to me. I have Kumho 712s with less than 10K miles on them. All of a sudden, they start making a lot of noise, especially during downhill coasting. The fronts were also wearing quicker in the fronts than in the back. Did a little rotation (front to back, back to front) and that helped. Sorry I'm not much help. Just relating my situation.

thanks man..yea i thought rotating would have helped but it made it worse..i think i just might get them rebalanced and see what happenes..i would ask the guys at the tire shops but 9 times outa 10 they know less then a 90 year old woman with altimers disease

im dealing with that problem as of right now....same sh*t is happening to me. My front's are wearing down like a mother f*cker...and whenever i make 20 mph+ turns, my tires sqeaks like crazy...like its slipping! Im going to camber kit + new azenis + alignment and hopefully everything is fine!

 

the only tip i can give you about your tires squealing is thier low on air..air all 4 of them up to the correct Psi and youll have nore more sqealing

The reason for quicker wear in the front is simple and obvious. The front tires turn and spin, and the rears dont. Camber also affects the more than it does in the back, in most cases.
