Toyo T1R road noise....

How is it going guys? I just recently bought a set of new toyo T1R tires...

245/35/19
285/30/19

I am posting this to see if i am the only one with REDICULOUS road noise? I just had the alignment checked and it is all almost dead on except the front camber is a little off, but still within spec. It is almost as though the tires are feathering, but im not sure. If my tires are feathering how do we fix it? Take them off the rims and mount on opposite side? The road noise is just unbearable i almost get headaches while driving down the road.

Anyone else with T1R's have loud road noise?

my camber is -1.2 with a 1.5" front and 1.2" rear drop and it's loud.


my shop did not recommend flipping tires since there is a chance the low profile walls might be damaged during removal from the wheel.

I hated my toyo's so much I took them off almost brand new, and bought some Falken 452's instead. The Falken's are great!
