Road Noise on 19" wheels?
Not sure why Im getting so much road noise on my Y spoke 19" wheels.

Normal tire wear, irregular tire wear, balance, alignment,
wheel bearings, etc. Hard for even the tire/suspension experts here, to offer an opin with no pics of tread(s), and that general of a observation. GL,mD

Good point on brand, and mileage on the tires would help for opins, too!

And road surface. Apart from what MD said I reckon you get a different tyre sound when travelling on a concrete paved road as compared to bitumen/asphalt.
I've also got 1 year old 19" tyres/rims with 10k miles and tyre noise is not excessive (Yoko Advan ST's). Just my 2 cents.

Check the tread wear by visual inspection and by running your hand along the tire tread. If the tires have any cupping wear you should be able to feel it when you rub you hand around the tire. You'll feel that the surface of the tire is not too smooth, or it has peaks and valleys. This type of wear can give pretty loud road noise. I've had it happen with my last set of Michelin Diamaris. It started after about 25K miles on the tires. If you find cupping wear, then it's time to change the tires.
Other things to check for are your alignment, tire/wheel balance, and general damage to the tires and wheels. Quote:
