could use some help... road noise like a monster truck
for some reason my lexus is making tire/road noise at 20mph + like a monster truck. i cant see anything wrong with my tires. if im out of alighnment would it mike noise like that? it really doesnt pull to the left or right but the stearing wheel does shake a little at 70mph. the noise is at its worst at about 20mph when i'm taking a corner. would it be possible it makes that noise if the bearings are bad? i'm not sure if its comming from the tires but it sounds just like a truck with nobbies driving on pavement, just not as loud. what ever my problem is its just loud enough for me to hear that somethings not quite right. i know a little about finding whats wrong with my cars. i've worked at a bodyshop for a few years and i had a mustang that i had to fix everything possible to fix. and i mean everything... this though, has me guessing. as far as i can see nothings rubbing anywhere. theres no bubbles in my tires and there fairly new.

What tires are you running? How worn are they? What is the tread wear rating? Low cost tires, worn tires, and performance tires can all be fairly noisy. I had a set of Yokahamas on my car years ago. They were good tires, but they got pretty noisy after about 15K miles.

Steering wheel shaking could be due to front wheels unbalanced. I heard FK452's were loud but, i don't have that problem. How are your door seals, good condition? Did you cut out your inner fender?

a lot of times the tire you run could just be a very noisy one. I know the tires the previous owner put on my car have lots of road noise because I compared them to the winter tires I was running which were very quiet. I think its either that or worst case scenario it could be your bearings.
