    I purchased a set of tires from a discount tire shop. Was very pleased with the service n such. I was driving home and couldn't help but notice how loud the tires are after the instal. This will be the 3rd set I've had on it since I purchased it. I had never noticed it before. I did not want all terrain tires. I asked for street tires. I do not have a 4x4. So I saw no reason to put mud tires or all terrain tires on it since I mainly drive city. I also noticed after driving it about 3 mo or so that the noise would stop when I turned the wheel right going around curbs but wouldn't when turning left. I went back and had them rotate the tires and check for knots in the tires or belt separating from the tire wall. Or just a bad tire. They are fine. It really sounds as if the tires are rubbing the fender but I can't see it. Like they are to big for my vehicle. They assured me they weren't. My next step is to check the alignment. Even though it doesn't pull to either side. I drive this vehicle ALOT! Any advice or tips to point me in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    what kind of noise does it make? Rubber on pavement noise or other? You could have lose components banging around in there.

    Maybe check the wheel bearings.
