Suggest you bring your car to a specialised suspension place and tell them your problem. They should be able to help you sort it out.

If your car is lowered, you'd probably need a camber kit in the front to correct the camber degree.

I've also found low profile uni directional tyres to make more noise on the road...

Hope you get your problem solved soon. I know how it is to drive around with a problem bugging you all the time...[:@]

pretty much, but a lot of mechanics will know what to do in your case - at least a tire specialist place.

I went to firestone co. and they just told me to get an alignment, so I'm ordering the tires now then replace and get it aligned altogether at once.

i took it to firestone to do alignment and replaced the 2 front tires, it doesn't make that huming sound anymore, i just hope that it doesn't come back after 3000 miles.

Go over to www.1010tires.com and look at the tire logos on the left click on Brigstone and it will take you to another link that will finally take you to the tire you have picked from the list and give you what consumers are saying. Brigstone is not getting great reviews for ware 1-3 but remember thats not accurate its the web so have an open mind. Oh and run your tires at the pressure on the tire not that friggin tag on the door.
