G35 rays problem !!!

I just upgraded to the 19's from my 18's. I was previously running 225/45 and 245/45. Now im running 245/35 all around. I've noticed a change in driving. It feel like when im driving the front makes noise. Its like the normal driving noise but a little louder. Is this normal? need help please.

yeah id say so. the smaller tires is part of why its louder. I have read quite a few posts about this same subject and everyone seems to agree bigger wheels, smaller tires will give you more road noise. The brand of tires you select also has something to do with the loudness of the road noise

Bigger wheels with thinner profile tires usually result in louder tires. Your rears are OK at 245/35/19 but OEM is 245/40/19, IIRC. Also certain brand tires are louder than others. Continentals, hankooks and michelins are being reviewed as some of the quieter tires while not sacrificing performance on the summer tires.

Im running on (4) Nitto 555 all 245/35. My main question is can i run 245 all around instead of 225 and 245? I guess im just **** because i just got these and i want everything to be perfect lol

You're fine. The 235s will be louder as said before, one of the reasons I prefer 240s.

Sorry I meant 35 series sidewalls. I prefer the 225/40/19 and 245/40/19 because they ride smoother and quieter than 35s but that's just my preference.

You are fine with 245/35/19 all around.

To the OP, you do realize that 40 series are the stock sizes for the OEM coupe 19s? just a FYI i guess.

Should I get an alignment done? It goes to the right a little bit if I let go of the steering wheel. It's not bad tho. I'm only gonna have these for a month or 2. Do I really need an alignment? I don't think so
