Tire Noise While Driving

b-easy20 · 05-07-08, 08:02 PM

I just bought my used 1999 Acura RL it only has 50,000 miles and is in good condition. While driving you can hear the road, tires, or something coming from the rear. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so what can i do? what is the actual noise i am hearing. Please help.

It could be a bad wheel bearing but i highly doubt it cause u said the mileage on the car is only 50,000. then it could be the actual tires. I recently got my tires changed and they were rated poorly on road noise which i found out later.

I had the same problem road noise. I have a 96 RL with 145k, after I installed new rotors and break pads the noise disappeared...O yea I need to change my tires too, only has 10-15% life left lol... In your case, i would check the tire or the wheel bearing as he mentioned

I have a noise that goes wha wha wha wha only when I'm going slow. Turns out my tires are cupped and it might be because of a bad bearing.

well a new engine was put into my car so the engine only has 50,000 but the car has more wear and tear on it. my tires look good. are the wheel bearing expensive for this car and are they easy to install? the noise is so annoying.

If the problem is the tires you should look into Falken Tires. The brand has specialized in low noise tires. Also they have excellent grip and a very good price.
