might be your tires, my friend had some 20's put on and they make a similar noise when going over speeds of 40, he has very cheap tires, what brand do you have?

i thnk lug centric.. not sure what you mean though..

so tire noise huh.. not sure on the brand ill check in a bit. im thinkin it may be tire noise, since its louder on certain pavements.

thanks

\ having the tread on the tire backwards causes it... iirc

Why cover teh plates knowing that around your town everyone sees them?

I've never understood that

& it's your tires that make the noise

Stand near the freeway someday and listen to those lifted trucks with the big *** tires pass by

Boggers, are stupid loud

Wax your headlights, the yellow haze will clear up.

thanks

is the arrow pointing the right way? if not that may b it. if its the write way could b u need to get ur tires balanced and make sure ur alignments correct
