hey guys, i have recently purchase some rims from a member on here. its 18" buddy club p1 racing. Well the problem is, i have some cheap tyres on atm until thursday when i get new tyres, when i drive there is a constant loud noise coming from the wheels. It sounds like i have an exhaust installed. LOUD and it rumbles the car.

could this be the tyres? the tyres itself is very bumpy.. the treads are rough.

thanks

My V35 has VERY bad road noise depending what tyres are on the car. I got rid of some Bridgestones because I couldn't put up with the noise. My feeling is that V35s do not have very good (if any) sound deadening in the floor. I intend to buy some Dynamat style padding and pull out the seats/carpets and put much more deadening in. If you are interested in doing this to your V35 too PM me and I will get you in on my buy of the Dynamat style product from the USA when I order it in coming months.

if they are cheap and directional thats the problem, does the steering wheel vibrate at high speed yet?

once they start to wear bad they will make noise, then shake the steering wheel at high speed, then when they are bad enough it will vibrate at any speed.

hey guys, thanks for the replies. Well the noise produced by the tyres are beyond normal. When i had the stock rims wrapped in bridgestones it was silent (well much better then now).

however, i will be putting some toyo tyres on tomorrow, and we'll see how it goes. ill let u guys know.

thanks

they were my rims! nothing is wrong with the rims it's the tyres! you can't expect too much when i've thrown in free tyres buddy! and they are pretty shaggered anyway and they are uni directional

btw make sure you make the right tyre choice! some tyres are more noiser than others

I get shocking road noise from the R1R's until they're warm.

I just limiter bash the car to take away the tyre noise. Works like a charm.

i find that the R1R's on my GTR are fairly quiet, i dont hear the tyres over my exhaust and the exhaust isnt overly loud.

even pushing hard around corners they wont make noise, they might make a slight noise when the car slides but nowhere near as loud as the last tires i had on before. Nankang and Marshall's

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
