first off. Hello! new to these fourms. recently aquired a stock 2002 wrx. couldnt be happier with it
took off my snow tires this week. i have stock 16" oe rims with Wanli S-1088 summer tires (205/55/16) and theres seems to be MASSIVE tire noise coming from the rear and it seems i have too much negative camber. i dont have a tool to measure or anything but it looks like alot. specs say stock camber is ~1.3 degress and it looks alot more than that. im going to put it on a lift and run it to make sure its not my diff or anything. but im certain the tire noise is coming from running on the inside edge of the rubber.
could i have done something stupid im overlooking to cause extra negative camber? the snows didnt make noise like this on dry pavement and they have twice the tread. i mean its a simple tire change i have done hundreds of times (but first one on this car)
thanks,
titter
*update*
problem solved. was a combination of tire pressure/balance/alignment. every one made the noise a little quieter till i can barely hear it now
