Stock sport tires (Potenza) noisy after 30KM/Eibach install?

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but over the course of the last couple of weeks, my tires have become very noticeably noisy. Along with the constant noise (seemingly at all speeds), I can "feel" the road more in the steering wheel with a subtle constant vibration. My car has approx 45,000KM, but I also have winter tires so these tires probably have around 30,000KM.

Also, I put Eibach springs on my car in August and got it aligned one week after it was dropped.

Do you think this is simply related to tire wear, or due to uneven wear related to the installation of the Eibach springs. Has anyone else noticed this with their 19 inch Potenza's?

Thanks,
TB.

They are loud tires, but they are great tires if grip is what your looking for.

I know tires get louder with age. Camber would not be so much a concern as say toe or caster. As long as your alignment is within spec I would attribute the noise to tire wear and age.
