new tyres should be quiet, generally as tyres get older they will be noisier (wear, tread goes hard etc)

what tyres are they? did u get them brand new or second hand?

were they balanced when u put them on? i have found that i had a bit of noise at freeway speeds with my old tyres and so i got them rebalanced and it went away.

i just got new tyres today and my car feels like a limo compared to before :ban::D:P

What a load of horse @$#@! Why post if you have no idea what you're spouting! :blink:

The only time you should ever run less presure in the rear than the front is in a drag situation with the right tyres and suspension set up to handle it.

For tyres of that staggered size front to rear on the street, I'd recommend 36psi in the front and 38psi in the rears for even tyre wear, best handling and best fuel economy. 40 and above is too much and too rougher ride for the street plus at those pressures and your width of tyre it's highly likely that you'll get over inflation wear.

On to you problem at present. Your tyres, although being of the cheaper (nastier) variety, they should be quiet when new especially being new, balanced and wheel aligned! So i'd be heavily leaning towards rear wheel bearings!

With new tyres eliminating the old tyre growl you can now hear the wheel bearings. You typically hear them at highway speed as they're spinning at high speed making them more audible.

I'd jack the rear of your car up so your rear wheels are off the ground, sit the rear on jack stands and chock your front wheels and spin the rear wheels up to 100km/h and I'll bet you hear the growl still

Hope that helps :(

you can also hear it when like doin 60km/h also but once you drive for a while the tickin sound seems to go cause the tyres warm up. But for the time they are ticking embarrassing cause its like people think something wrong with ur car. should of stuck with the pirellis or did some research as people say they are loud as tyres. didnt think new tyres could be loud i guess its the compound or whatever.

I have never heard any tyre noises in my life..

Even on the shitty camry with new tyres and even old tyres which are bald ass..

I got pirellies (whateva spelling) on the camry and no noise!!

hmm as for pressure, always best of a 30-32 combo..

^^^^ Just about all tyres are noisy buggers. When you are fairly close to a major road, the first thing you notice is the tyre noise. After a few hundred metres you tend not to notice the engine / exhaust noise, but the tyre noise always carries a long distance.

As for ticking, I would be inclinded to think that there was a nail or screw in the tyre. Sometimes they are hard to see too, and you sometimes need to take the wheel off the car to easily tell where the nail / screw is.

Ticking might also be from brake pad wear indicators (strange but it could be). Dude tyre noise is NOT a ticking noise. Its quite posible these tryes are actually quieter, and you are now hearing another noise that was previously masked.

BTW, I run 38psi front, 36psi rear and have PERFECT tyre wear, took me 6months to work it out tho. I think it depends on the car and your driving style.

heheh also the pressure depends on the tyres you have!!

I had some shitty 205s on my car ages ago.. Anyways even with 30psi, i was spinnin in 1st,2nd and 3rd.. with a stock car!!

even set at 25psi, it was shit.. just kicked out easily..

Anyways back on topic.. next time i drive im gonna try n hear my tyres lol..

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?

      To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
