Default Falken 451's...Loud...Loud...Loud...

Is it normal for these tires to exhibit extraordinary road noise? I have a 2001 225QC and I can't stand the noise these tires make. Unbelievable wet traction but man...between 50-65 kph I have to drive with the windows down to wash out the noise. Anyone else have similar experience?

Default hmm... i didn't even find the azenis sports loud -- and they're notoriously noisy!

you may want to check to make sure that your tires are wearing evenly.

if not, they could be making far more noise than they normally would.

Now that you mention it...I do notice a difference in the acoustics when either in a left or right hand turn radius - more so in the right...thx for the input.

Check your tire pressures as well. A low tire can make a lot more noise than usual.
