New Tires "Whistle" - What the heck!?
My new tires (Nitto NT555 G2's) "whistle" at around 40+ mph, and it is driving me crazy!!! I also have a "squeak" (sounds like a bad pulley to me) during sudden acceleration - in my front driver's side area - that only (seems) to happen when the car is warm. Some on here thought the squeak was a bad wheel bearing, so I was wondering if A) New tires can whistle, and B) if the new tires are so quiet I can only now hear the whistle (seems unlikely, it is fairly loud), which is from a bad wheel bearing?
I just jacked up the front and spun the tires with no grinding, and I've never had any grinding/howling noises on the road. They don't budge at all when I shook them top and bottom, and they seemed to move just a teeny tiny bit when I shook them side to side (same results for both driver's and passenger sides).
Any help from you gurus would be appreciated!
