So driving the SS/TC the other day I noticed that while reaching speed of 45-70 mph, I get a lot of tire noise....sort of a buzzing sound...and it can even be felt in the pedal. And this was not temp related because it was fine on even colder days.

Other then the noise, the car is functioning perfectly. Any ideas as to why the tires would be making noise like this?

 

What tires you got? Just wondering.

You can check if you have a nail in your tire, or sometimes rocks that got stuck in the thread.

 

They are the stock conti's....Doesnt appear to be anything stuck in the tire

 

Snow and ice rubbing on your tires at speed?

 

It happens even in above freezing temps

 

Its your motor. Its about too blow.

 

I knew I shouldnt have reved it to 30,000 RPM....


As for the noise, is it possible that uneven wear could do that?

 

sounds like a wheel bearing to meeeeeeee

 

bird stuck

 

Hmm....i suppose thats a possibility...what does it cost to fix?

 

I have a ss/sc and have the exact same problem. I have changed all the suspension parts and changed different wheels and tires. The problem is still there. I have seen this problems with a few other members but i dont think anyone has found out what it is.

 

Nothing if you're under warranty.

Some tire noise is normal and it usually occurs at a certain speed range. Just turn the stereo up louder! lol

Get some Nitto Invo tires. They are specifically designed to be a quiet performance tire.

 

is it more extreme when turning a certain way?

 

Is it just noise or is there vibration too? If there is vibration could be bearings or even just one of the tires.

 

does swerving dramatically change the noise? If not its most likely NOT a bearing

How many miles, have you rotated your tires yet?

Ive noticed that TCs seem to have a decent amount of tire noise especially from the rear.

 

Dynamat the entire floor front to back (including trunk) You will think you are driving a luxury car!

 

A: Screw Dynamat.
B: Ive got over 100sqft of CAE VB2 and SS Damplifier sitting in my gagrage waiting to be installed. I havent yet felt compelled to take my interior out.

 

I've heard good things about Damplifier. Dynamat is not necessarily the best option out there.

 

at sig.

 

Turning does not seem to effect it one way or the other.
