I have an brand new Toyota 86(use to be Scion FR-S ) I replaced the stock tires Michelin primacy hp 215/45/17 a Prius tire, with continental extreme contact dw 225/45/17. I noticed when I’m driving espically 45 mph and above when I turn my stearing wheel to the left a little it makes a noise from th…

So this noise suddenly appeared immediately after replacing the stock tires? That’s pretty telling, eh? :wink: I think you already know what the problem is right? Are you asking why that would happen then? If so, tell us a little more about the new tires. Are they the same exact size as the …

If the tires are not the same size then probably something is rubbing against something else.] If the new tires are the same size, I would make sure all lug nuts were tightened properly. Someone has to jack the wheels off and rotate them to see where the noise is from.

All four tires were replaced it’s different tread pattern but the rim stayed the same. Since the noise only happens when I turn the steering wheel to the left and not at all to the right. It has to be from that wheel. It is not a noise just from different tire tread pattern if it was I would hear it…

That’s what I was thinking as the car is brand new the wheel bareing might be less likely. I only feel a slight vibration no thumps or something that might be a warp in the tire. I have driven about 300miles so far on them so I wanted to make sure it stayed constant and it has.

It’s not an unheard of thing for a new tire to be defective. The tire store should be willing to help you decide if that’s the problem or not. Another possibility is the tire is ok but the wheel wasn’t balanced correctly too. Edit: Just curious, when you changed to different tires, did the tire s…

Your new tires are wider and larger in diameter. Dollars to donuts, you have rubbing.

No discount or allowance but did charge me for disposal fee. Only had 2k on those tires :pensive:

Wow. That doesn’t seem very fair. Coincidentally I’m looking for some – let’s just say “well priced” – used tires for my truck, and OEM 2000 milers would be great for what I need, if I could get them for the right price that is. Those of yours wouldn’t have fit my truck tho. But I expect some…

That is certainly possible, but the new tires are only a fifth of an inch farther into the wheel well and a tenth of an inch wider on each side. That seems like a very small difference, but you could be correct. A way to test it I would be to turn left and right on a parking lot, gradually turning t…

The noise only occurs when turning a certain direction? That sounds like either a defective tire or a wheel bearing problem. You might try swapping the tires around to see if the noise follows one of the tires.
