Our Rls 1.0 has 22k miles and we are having terrible roaring noises w/our Yoko's, the dealer replaced a rear wheel bearing thinking it was the cause to no avail and just replaced 2 of the original tires under warranty but we still have the noise with the last two tires, anyone else?

ROAR! you could try getting someone else with 5x100 wheels... and putting their wheels on yours and drive around the block and see what happens...

My dealer did that after they changed the bearing and the problem was still there. They took a set off of a new car on the lot and that fixxed the problem so it is/was these tires, they then told us they were going to see about getting us 4 tires warranty but we only got two covered under warranty. Just wondering if anyone else with these has had this problem before on their RLS 1.0...?

not sure that the yoko's came on every rs1.. i thought it was pirelli pzero nero's..

I did not say they came on every RLS 1.0, all I know is they came on mine. Looks like TireRack agrees with you too, when I told them I had Yokos, they replied Pirellis?I said no Yokos! I ordered two Monday night around 11pm and today at 6pm tires arrived.

No more roar!

Oh I wasn't replying that you meant every rs1 came with yoko's.. I was just saying that it was rare. But glad to get the roar gone.

So then did the roar show up as the tires got mileage on them? Or did they make noise in the beginning.. These ones you just got rid of?

As time went on....My guess is either the front or rear end is out of align just a lil causing the tires to be cupped = roar...?

Moral of the story, align frt/rr every 12-15k or so...I guess.

sciontc_mich

yeah that is a good idea to have an alignment done once a year, just to check and make sure it's good..

so yes if the tires were not aligned for awhile then it would cause the tires to wear (Cupping) and cause that roar.. you're right..

Ok, its time for my THIRD set of tires in 50k miles, anyone upsized to taller tires which would give a softer ride?
