Hi - This topic may have been discussed previously, but I am asking
for some advice about my mother's 2005 Altima.

She has Continental tires on the vehicle with good tread and air
pressure is fine. However, when I had to drive the car recently, I
noticed a very distracting road noise apparently from the tires.
I know it could be perhaps something within one or more of the tires
itself, but she mentioned it was not that quiet when she purchased the
car.

Is this a problem that others have noticed that is inherent in the
2005 Altimas?

I wanted to know what other may have experienced and what you may have
done to reduce the problem.

Thanks
Bill

Hi ! Had same problem .Started around 13000 miles and got steadly
worse . Rotated tires , ballance ,aliognment  etc.No help . Dealer
worthless .Finally replaced tires ( Goodrich ) at 32000 miles and
fixed problem .I guess Continental tires suck .

Hi Flipper

Thank you very much for the information. I was going to take the same
path. (rotate, align, balance, then dealer as a last resort) I
appreciate you helping me save a bunch of time troubleshooting this
for my mom.

I also had the same issue.  The tire noise problem with the OEM
Continentals is a well-documented and known problem with no long term
fix other than new tires.  I got new tires when I traded my '05 for an
'07.

Hi Steve and Flipper

I replaced with 4 new Yokohama AVID TRZ tires and the ride is amazing.
Thanks again for the feedback!!!
