im getting a loud humming from my new tires. They stop humming when im on a turn or a curve but when im on a straight away the humming returns. The tires are Trail mark All Terrain (immitation b/f goodwrench) something or others, i switched from no tread road tires and i wasnt used to the noise. The tires are properly inflated and its a 4wd.

 

Yup. You are gonna have to live with it. Some tires are noisier than others. If you want a good, quiet tire, try BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A's. Jim

 

thats what i figured they were pretty cheap but they look just like bf goodwrench all terrains. Its not too bad, the exhaust covers it but im tired of my girl friend asking "whats wrong with your truck" or "that sound is really annoying"

 

you have it backwards kid......your tires should be quiet and your girl should be humming!

 

lmfao ure wrong also, u mean his girl should be moaning lol

 

...they don't know the words (badda boom)...

Buying low-end no-name tires puts you at risk for this kind of thing. There are internet resources like tirerack.com that have tons of owner reports rating essentially all name-brand tires that they carry for noise, wet/dry/snow traction, etc. It is sometimes worth researching sites like this before you decide on a tire purchase, and I've found that good name brand tires, although they cost more, end up being no more expensive per mile and less prone to giving you problems like noise, bad traction, poor wear, etc.

If they are new tires, you might want to talk with the dealer to see if they'll give you a credit toward something better....I know that Firestone and Bridgestone, at least, have a 30-day money back guarantee (you may have to pay for mounting/balancing).

not just "low-end" tires hum. I had a set of Michelin put on my car.... set me back about $900.... boy - did they make noise! finally had to go back with a sey of "no-name" from Discount Tires to quieten it down.

 

it could be a wheel bearing also.

 

i have nitto mud grapplers and those things raor!!

 

You should try the Superswamper boggers.I had a set on a s10 you could not hear the radio sometimes. I would go visit my Dad an he said he could hear me comming 10 min before I got there. Tim

 

my Micky Thompson MTZ's arent really all that bad, get a bit of hum going down the road but its not loud at all.... Plus if it really bothers you just turn the stereo up...

 

i have dunlop radial mud rovers, they are nice tires and have a bit of hum to em on the freeway, i dont mind, lets me get places off road quiet tires couldnt get me!
