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.

thanks

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

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
