Singing Tires
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 !

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

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.
