falken azenis
are these known to be incredibly loud while driving?
i just traded my oem wheels for a set of volk te-37's, and 2 of them have 205/50/15 azenis, which i put on the front, and 2 of them have 205/50/15 kumhos (shitty i know, i didn't pick them), which i put in the back.
as i accelerate, i start to here a droning noise that gets louder and louder the faster i get....by the time i hit 45 it sounds like a freight train is coming down the road....any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks...

they are brand new, i just picked them up from the guy about 20 minutes ago, it was on the way home that i was introduced to the loudness....i'm not sure on the psi, don't have a gauge nearby, but they are pretty full, the tire is extremely tight if that makes sense....

survey says, no.
I have both kumho and azenis. azenis make all sort of noise and when u drive over loose gravel all i hear is rocks hitting the underbody.
don't u have a radio to turn on?

Re: (Hype-aaaRRRR)
I keep hearing how they're really loud, but honestly i don't really even notice it, myself. Well, i can HEAR the noise but i don't really notice it, you know what i mean? I'm guessing you'll get used to it.

thanks for the replies guys, i think it was just that i went from no sound out of my previous bridgestones to these super loud falkens, but after driving it some more i found it's not as noticeable....they feel great as far as performance, and i love these volks, makes my car feel completely different.....sorry for the noob question and thanks for the quick, helpful responses...

Re: (DsR)
I have them and I haven't noticed any noise. If your concerned about noise buy a luxury car lol. The Type R's glorious engine noise in normal driving should be more than enough to drown out any tire noise.
By the way the tires are amazing. A definite improvement over the RE-010 in both wet and dry weather.
