Just put on some OEM AP2 V2 wheels with OEM RE050s. I noticed some pretty loud road noise from the fronts when turning, and I'm wondering if it's normal with these tires. The fronts have a ton of tread left. I've only had S02s and michelin x-ice winter tires on the S before, so thats what I can compare the noise to, and it's much louder.

I have not had any noise complaints on the tires.

well I'm actually hearing it all the time, mainly as low speeds as you can imagine. I think it's just how they sound..

harrrrry

I just got a set of Falken 452 and I don't know how to explain it. Either the RE050s are loud, or the 452s are just more easy riding. Either way, the different in road noise between these 2 tires are worlds apart.

I went from the RE050 to the RE760's and the road noise on the RE050 were definitely louder.

They are hardly loud. My guess is that the alignment is off causing weird wear with the OP, since it is happening WHEN turning.

I revised that statement.. I hear it when going straight too. BUT, my alignment is a little off, so that could be adding to it.
