Sounds like they're cupped??It sounds like I'm driving on big knobby off-road tires and even the audio at 8 or 9 won't drown it out. I have no ideas why this has happened and am thinking of going with the Primacy tires as replacements. Would be interested to hear if others have experienced tire noise like this.
My early 2013 car has about 45,000 miles but I do use winter tires for about 4 months of the year. My Goodyears have plenty of tread left, but they have become intolerably loud. It started last fall, and over the winter I took them in to my tire guy to check and re-balance them. I put them back on last weekend and I'm fed up with the noise.

The Eagles are quieter, last longer, and handle better, as I see it!
I have OEM Primacys on mine right now and have driven almost 38,000 miles. They are still riding very well and quite quiet but I am down to 4 and 5/32 so I am looking around. I will probably put the Primacys back on her since I have been happy with them.
I too have found tire folks who think all passenger car tires should be 30 psi because 30/32 was a common pressure recommendation--in 1970.In further discussion, he thought 45 PSI was way too high, but when I pointed out that was the manufacturer's recommendation, he said it's best to go with what the car maker says.
I ended up having a rear tire blowout so I replaced the 2 rears with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3. They are almost bald after only 6 months and 8,000 miles.
Mainly SoCal. Around 34,000 miles. 307 Wh per mile and just replaced one. (Road debris). 6/32 on two fronts, 8/32 on one rear and brand new on the recently replaced (2/15/15).
mknox... After about 1 year and 25k miles, my OEM Goodyear RSA started making a thumping noise that was especially loud at around 21mph. They are so noisy. Now at nearly 44k miles, I'm looking forward to replacing them. Maybe with Primacy MXM4.
