Howling tire noise from m sport 19 inch wheels?
I have an 11' x3 with the 369 19 inch wheels. Tires are non run flat Goodyear eagle rsa2.
Tread is as follows: Both fronts are about 7/32, one rear is 6/32, and the last rear is brand new. I just changed that one rear and the noise was equal before/after. They howl more at slow speeds, and less audible at highway speeds but still there. What can it be? Just had alignment done too. |

How far off was your alignment? If it was off substantially, and the tires are in fact cupped, the damage has already been done. I was considering a set of these as they are being blown out by tire rack, and the Caddy CTS owners really seem to like them.
