Ok so Ive been reading and researching this for awhile but I wanted some other opinions. When I first bought my G (07) there was no noise at all. After about a month and a half and roughly 1700 miles there has been this loud hum when I get over 25 miles and hour, when I turn and especially when I brake. I took it back to the dealer I bought it from (not Infiniti) and they said it was scalloped tires....weird cause there usually is a problem that causes that right? So I took it to my mechanic and they found nothing at all. They weren't sure if it was just the tires, they are crappy nankang sport something or others. My question is Ive read some TSB's about alignment being off and this causes a cupping of the tires and creates the noise, if I bring this to the dealer can they acknowledge and find the problem and fix it or could it just be the tires and I need some quality ones? I also have noticed it does drift to the right a bit like another TSB I read said but Ive had the alignment done. Thanks guys and sorry for the long post haha

 

bump, anyone?

 

i had the sami issues its cupping of the front tires, you can tell by taking your hand and rubbing it across the inside of the tire, you will notice the uneven wear , i corrected the issue by buying a front camber kit and getting an alignment

 

it doesn't have to be a problem necessarily, it could just be very low tread thats all it takes to cause the noise your alignment may not be off.

 

how much did the camber kit cost and which one did you get? Im not good with this stuff haha. Ill have to check the tires tomorrow

they are brand new tires only have about 4,000 miles on them

 

any camber kit will work i got the spc
camber kits range anywhere in the neighborhood of 3 to 5 hundred
do some reasearch and maybe there are cheaper ones out there but remember you get what you pay for

 

all right cool, thanks man. I really hope its just a kit or something Im gonna be pissed if my tires are cupped too. I cant afford to get all this stuff haha

 

I have brand new tires after an alignment and I have this issue still to this day.
Bugs the crap out of me. Tires are so loud at 30 mph cruising I have to turn the radio up or shout just for other people to hear past the noise.
No good.

 

if ur tires are not directional flip them!

 

Noisy tires can be caused by many different things.

1. Cheap tires
2. Alignment issues
a. Camber issue (this may not be the case if you are not lowered)
b. Toe (this will cause your tires to cup/uneven wear much quicker than camber.)

 

ya it is incredibly annoying, i hate it

uhhh how do you tell the tires are directional or not?


not lowered i still have to check the tires and i may bring it by the dealer too, thanks guys for all the help

 

did you check reviews on the tires? tirerack might be a good source.

 

if you have ====direction=====> on the wall of the tire
then they are directional tires

 

gotta look at this as well. Im hoping the tires are just loud and its not an alignment issue. Will the dealer be able to tell if this is the problem? and where exactly can you get a front camber kit and which brands do you guys recommend?

 

search google and find out what causes certain types of wear patterns on the tires.

it could be number of things and you could be fixing a wrong one.

You could have worn out struts. Do a little research.
