Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 2007Rolling vehicle noise after changing rims and tires. (98 Accord 4dr LX Standard)
I just changed my winter wheels to Excel 18' Model S7 Rims and Federal Super Steel 59 S Tires 225/40/18 and I noticed loud rolling vehicle noise. I am wondering if it's a bearing noise or just tires are loud. Anybody have any experience with that? When driving on winter tires I didn't hear that much noise (still a little but not that much). At this moment I don't know if I should replace bearings or just wait till tires get worn and get a new ones. > I just changed my winter wheels to Excel 18' Model S7 Rims and Federal > Super Steel 59 S Tires 225/40/18 and I noticed loud rolling vehicle [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > this moment I don't know if I should replace bearings or just wait > till tires get worn and get a new ones. 18" rims on an accord??? i'd look for rims rubbing on the suspension or body if i were you. Suspension is ok. Previous owner lifted the car up a little bit and that's why smaller rims with lo profile would not look good on this car. http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/5184/auto01it3.jpg > sebastian.wilczyn...@gmail.com wrote: > > I just changed my winter wheels to Excel 18' Model S7 Rims and Federal [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > 18" rims on an accord??? i'd look for rims rubbing on the suspension or > body if i were you. > Suspension is ok.

I checked that and seems to be at least one inch to the closest non- moving chassis element. That is definitely the tire noise, I think that might be worn tires noise although tires still have alot of thread on them or ... alignment ... I also noticed car goes a little bit to the left when driving 60-70 miles/h. I'll check the alignment and see what happens > sebastian.wilczyn...@gmail.com wrote: > > Suspension is ok.
