Has anyone here ever had Essenza R tires???

Have you noticed that they're really loud going down the highway? It seems like between 45-60 they have a loud humming noise. I'm almost affraid that one is out of ballance or something... but the car tracks fine.

And ever since I put these 17's on, I have a wierd low speed humming noise that goes away when I apply the brakes... has anyone else noticed this???

And good god, these tires are TERRIBLE in the rain!!!!!! [:'(]

 

I think something is loose in the right front brakes or a CV joint is bad...
