I have almost 10K miles on my stock 17" Yokohama Geolandars and after my tire rotation at 7500 miles, I have noticed an increase in road noise. The tires were rotated in spec by the dealer, and the ones on the front had some edge scalloping, I figured I would let them wear in for a few hundred miles to even out, but the noise is getting worse, sort of a scrubbing sound, like when you take a corner too fast. I am not only having this issue on all the road surfaces I have been driving, but also in straight line driving on asphalt and concrete. I am also concerned as the rear tires that were rotated to the front seemed to have the scalloping like you get from a bad lower ball joint. The dealer seemed non-plussed about all of this, as they have been with all my concerns, but I will try them again as I do not have time to get to the next dealer over a hundred miles away. I keep up on my tire pressures, and have varied them up to 42psi from the stock 34psi to see if that gives any relief, but it seems fairly consistent across the range of pressures.
Has anyone else noticed abnormal wear on their stock 17" tires?
How far can the rear alignment get off (only owned solid axle rear end vehicles before), and what would cause this if not driven adversely on decent roads?
Does anyone have a quieter brand of 17" tires that they have installed already?
