My 2013 F-Sport on stock 19" wheels got new Pirelli Cinturano's about two months ago, and lately I've noticed a lot of resonant humming from them. I mostly notice it on super smooth freshly asphalted roads.
Tire pressure is per the placard in the door jam. Anyone experience this? Unfortunately i'm outside the 30 day discount tire "try em or bring em back"... Although if I could find an old lady to throw one through their window maybe I'd get somewhere !

 

Are u sure that humming sound is coming from the tires, I have factory Bridgestone Rft 050A (which I totally dislike) and I get this sound too which I was wondering could be the wheel bearings or something.

 

Appreciate the response, I thought of that but it's only on certain surfaces, and there's a bit of resonance or ringing (like a well inflated basketball when bounced) that makes me think it's the tires. Only 55,000 miles on it so hopefully it's not a drivetrain issue.

 

I am gonna take it for service soon and will let you know what dealer said.

 

I don't have a GS, but have the same tires and no such singing from mine...

 

I have a non F-sport GS with Cinturato (235/45R18) and I hear no resonant humming from the tires.

 

Wonder if it's my 40 series tires then... I'm almost positive it's the tires and not anything in the suspension or a bearing.

 

Shouldn't make that much difference.

Did you have the alignment done when you got the new tires? Any chance they could have worn unusually?

 

Different areas have different paving. Some tires may sing in some areas and not in others. If it didn't sing before the change i am putting my money on the new tires.
