Tires Making Noise

[RW Sting Gray]

When driving slow, 0-10 mph or so, I can hear the front tire. (I think this happens on both sides). It sounds like they're sticky or the sound you'd hear driving over wet pavement. Does that make sense? lol. Maybe someone else has had this and can chime in. I've had the tires on for a few hundred miles. They were Rubi take offs, tires and wheels, and practically new. Had about 50 miles on them on previous Jeep. I drove for a few hundred miles to see if maybe it would go away. Negative.

Here are the "specs":
-JLU Sport S
-Rubi Tires/Wheels takeoffs
-PSI about 37. The driver rear is about 33. That TPMS sensor took its time to get to the party and when it it did it was low, I'll put air in it this weekend.
-No lift or anything on it yet.

I plan on running the tires to 36-37 PSI which I will adjust to this weekend, but that's not gonna resolve anything. I'm sure that it'll eventually go away, not that it's a big deal. Maybe just a characteristic of these tires.

The BFG KO2 does that, as well as some other modern tires, due to the rubber compound being used. It's a good thing.

The way I'd describe the sound is like you're driving through pine tar.

Thanks for the reply! I've never driven thru pine tar, but I see what you're drivin at..

As the miles rack up and the tread blocks wear down, it will probably become less noticeable. But yeah, it's just from that sticky rubber compound grabbing the hot asphalt. I know what you mean. Very noticeable with the windows down.

I figured it would eventually wear away. I had rubi take offs on my JK sport as well and never had the “issue”. Different tire obviously tho too.
