here's the deal...

axis seven mods - used set. dcent thread on fronts. rears are about 30%
20x9. 20x10
245.35.20 fronts. lil dent on the lip..like minor...front right..sumotumo tire, mismatched from the rest. i install them, barely clears the stock brakes(non brembo) and the "arm" on the strut...

i take it for a test drive...at 20mph i hear a humming sound from it..stays all the way thru 40+mph and so forth...

bent rim? alignment? balancing? any ideas? cheap tire? super road noise from 20s?

im trying to remember from my other civic rims...i wanna say unbalanced tires and alignment, given its 20s compared to my 17s...wider tires..bigger rims.etc..

any takers?

 

your alignment may be off or you may have a bubble in the tire. there are lots of possibilities.

 

Uneven tire wear.... it's still be there if you do get an alignment, i guess you're only option is get a set of tires and get an alignment asap

 

yah im having it looked at today.

 

well i didnt get a chance to take it to the shop today...
but i took them off..kinda scary feeling..the humming is bad...
i have my stockies on..im starting to wonder if its a wheel bearing? maybe i didnt notice it before, but now i kinda hear something!!

i rolled the "sumo" rim around, seems to be uneven or lumpy.but can't notice anything severe. i move it left to right and kinda tilts? is that normal? lol..

 

yea my Nitto 555 are like that on my stock 18" if u rub your hand along the tire tread and you feel it kinda wavy up n down motion, then yea you have uneven tire wear. Only way you'll get rid of it is to get new tires and get alignment right after
