Dunlop Sport A2's - Noisy tires???
I've had these on for somewhere around 10-13k so far, and in the past few weeks, they've become noisy as hell.
I thought it was the bearings, since I got this moaning/humming sound especially at low speeds (local driving) but I jacked my car up, and the bearings felt/sounded fine. I spun the tires by hand, and turned on the car and applied a little gas. It's a constant moaning/humming, so it doesn't come and go as I drive. Is this typical of these tires this early? I do have a little bit of uneven tread wear, because they were on the back of my car for a while, but these past few days, I can hear it much much louder. If anyone has any tips on what to do, lemme hear it, or if anyone has any good/bad experiences with this tire... (195/60/15 on a 93 EX)

allignment more than likely mine does it but its lowered 4 inches
but even if your car isnt lowered doesnt mean the allignment cant be off...take it to a tire center or something of the sort and have them check that

It's your bearings. I know the sound you describe! Been exactly where you at Jack.
It's a constant low sort of groaning/moaning isn't it? Never goes away. Makes the stereo sound like ****. I know. Been there.
Get new bearings and change them yourself. They are pretty easy to change. Save a ton on labour.
I lost both my front bearings around 80000km. Hell of a racket. The noise started about the same time I put some new 17" rims and tires on my car so I thought the annoying hum was from the new tires. Drove for months like that until the noise got to be too much and I had a mechanic test drive my car. He said my front bearings were gone. I recognised the sound in my right rear last Christmas so I bought 2 new bearings and replaced the bad right rear bearing. I am waiting for the left rear to go soon.
It's not your tires. It's your bearings.

duude, you're right, I moved the front tires back, and the back tires front, and still got that dam humming/moaning, unfortunately I don't got the time (or a press/bfh to pound out the hubs from the bearing) so it's going into one of my local shops, hopefully he won't charge an arm/leg, thanks for the help though!
