Got new fronts yesterday chillies 225/35/20 93w ATR Sport 2. massive road noise. car has been tested from a ford dealership in Vic. Disks are a bit worn, But stilll ok. Havent personally checked front wheel bearings, but seem ok. Is this normal when you put these massive tires on these things.

I assume it's the tyre of choice and that an alignment was done at the time of putting them on. Turn up the tunes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
