Question for those who are cambered and lowered...

To the guys that are running some negative camber and lowered, are you getting horrible tire noise?

I'm dropped on DF210's running about -2.5 camber front and rear with 245/35 275/35 tires. I am getting horrible tire noise. Just a constant drone that sounds like a off road truck. Ive ran Nitto Neogens and Nankang Ultra Sports both with truck like noise.

Any of you guys getting a quiet ride? If so, what's the secret?

Ok so you guys really think its the tires? Also, I have a coupe with aftermarket 19s, don't know if that matters.

i've had so many people tell me its due to being lowered and running -2.5 camber but I can't find research that backs up this claim.

So Invos are quiet? The Neogens definately were not. What model Bridgestones did you have?

Didn't have a problem at all with my old setup when my camber was worse than yours.

I had tire noises even before I lowered my car. Brand new tires will get rid of the noise but it will eventually come back. I think A/S tires will help, but you'll sacrifice some handling for some peace and quiet.

Toyo Extensas up front with Yoko S Drives in the rear... no loud tire noise for me. But most of it is drowned out by the drone of my exhaust and the sound of my music.

It rides really smooth tho.
