I put my summer tires on this weekend, and when i was driving around (80 kph +) it sounds like i have some big mud tires on with the amount of noise coming from both front wheels. Is it possible that my tires self destructed while in storage for the winter? i stored them in my insulated garage, stacked on their side. I don't recall having this amount of noise last summer.

I just want to see if anyone has experienced anything similar after the winter swap before i pay a visit to simply tire.

Thanks.

Ths is happened to me..My tires i just put on...were brand new and my aligment was off and I had uneven wear on the tires which made them loud as hell...I couldn't take the sound anymore so when the one tire blow i replaced all 4 tires intead of replacing the one.

Any tire shop could tell you if the tires have uneven wear

Our good friend Allen at Simplytire, took a look at them yesterday, and indeed there is a bit of feathering going on due to misalignment. So i'll be getting my car inline this weekend!
