Default knocking noice from tires...
I have 18" OZ Volcano rims and noticed a slight knocking noise from the wheels. Not sure which wheel it's coming from though. I'm know for sure it's coming from the wheels because I just switched to the factory 15" and the noise is gone. Any ideas what (on the wheels) may cause this knocking? Will an unbalance wheels do this?

Thanks!

Default Were the lugs tight? Could be a broken belt in the tire, flat spot etc...
z rated tires tend to be a little noisy anyway..
