Do brand new tires make noise?
Do brand new tires make noise?
If you bought tires with an aggressive tread pattern, winter/snow tires, or low-profile tires, the noise will be present from day one – that’s normal. However, if you didn’t, new tires may still be noisy when you start driving on them.
Why does my right rear tire make a thumping noise?
Mine had the same noise after I failed to rotate the tires in about 15k miles. Right rear was cupped pretty bad. It may be an indication that you need new shocks. Do a google search for tire cupping or scalloping and you’ll find all sorts of information.
Why do low profile tires make more noise?
Low-profile tires typically generate more noise because there is less rubber sidewall to absorb it. This noise gets transmitted through the chassis and the rest of the vehicle.
Why does my tire make noise when I hit a pothole?
Tire damage and flat spots can also cause tire noise. Tread separation and shifted belts are common results of defective construction, overinflation, and curb or pothole hits, leading to out-of-round or out-of-balance tires.
What should I do if my tires are making noise?
Combined with excessive speed, this can cause tire squealing and possibly a loss of traction. To prevent excessive noise, ensure that tires are properly inflated, slow down during turns, and have your suspension checked for damage and proper alignment. Replace tires before they get to 2/32” tread depth.
