road noise after spring install?

i have had Tein springs installed and aligned for a while.. not too sure how to describe the sound, but it sounds like tires are skipping. it is more noticeable when i slow down to stop. car doesn't shake at all regardless how fast i'm driving. it's just the noise that getting on my nerve. i was wondering if there is anything i can do to fix it. do i need re-alignment or is there something wrong with wheel bearing that caused by aftermarket springs? probably camber problem? any input appreciated.

what are your current front alignment measurements?

maybe tires are feathered or worn out on the inside treads. Did you
check your tires?

tires looked fine to me, but i will double check. they have about 8500 miles.
the car was aligned after springs were settled.

alignment measurement
front
left right
Camber -1.49 -1.84
Caster 9.03 8.87
Toe 0.01in 0.02in

I recommend camber kits for the front and rear and a possibly additional toe kit for the rears. Your alignment specs are way out and you will have premature inside tire wear.

Use these specs and you'll minimize inside tire wear and still have great handling.
