help, installed new rims

guy at disc tires says its because how the back tires are worn. three of the tires are pretty new, one is used up a bit. but he recommended i buy two new tires.

 
i have never heard more uneducated solutions to his problems lol. anyway dude if you got low tread on your tires then they will be noisey, also new tires that are cheap can be real noisey. any sorta balance problem you might have or think you have would be caused by either different size tires or different brand tires. to different tires on the same axel is bad news even if they are similar tread patterens. anyway you know how old the tires are? don't judge the life of the tire by it's tread. look all over your tire till you see something that says DOT. the DOT will have three sets of numbers and or letters. the third set should be only numbers and 4 digits long. if all you can find is 2 sets of numbers and letters with no third set of only numbers look on the other side of the tire. that 4 digit number is your DOT number. the first two digits represent the week of the year and the last two represent the year. EXAMPLE: 0908, means the tire was made in the ninth week of 2008. anyway if your tires are more then 4 years old, time for new ones dispite tread life or milage warrenty. if you get new tires try to get some dunlop DZ101's in your size i think you'd like them. they are cheap and work well while looking badass. also about every other oil change or every 6,000-8,000 miles get your tires rotated and balance. make sure to check your airpressure once a month. the air pressure is not what it says on the side wall of the tire. that is bad. if your tires are the same size that came on it factory then open your driver door and look around the metal area for a door plaquered. it should say your reccomened tire size and pressure for that size. if you get a after market tire size ask your tire shop what they recommend so you know what to keep it at.

also balancing problems cause vibrations not sound, and as long as you have the same tires on the same axle they won't cause noise because of that although on set might be noisier then the other

 
They are probably lug centric. Make sure the wheels are torqued down correctly, this should help. Though you'll need to get some hub rings.
proper torqueing is a saftey issuse not a sound issue and hubcentric is not going to cause tire noise either. there are plenty of old cars neither lug nor hub centric (almost every car today is both) and they don't make anymore noise then ones that do. all hub and lug really do is provded a better ride and prevent wheel hop from faulty mounting
