Hi all, first post here.

I have a 2002 Maxima and I just recently rotated the tires, fronts to rear, due to have a shaking steering wheel. I know I should get them balanced, but I rotated them and the shake went away. While the wheels were off, I inspected the brakes, still got a lot of pad left on both front and rear and the rotors are wearing normally. Also note that I got a brake job done not too long ago. Anyways, after rotating the tires, I noticed the car sounds like a 4x4 or something, very noisy when driving. I don't think its the normal characteristics of the tires. They were much quiter before plus the are wearing evenly and still have a lot of tread left.

What could be my problem? Maybe nothing to do with the tires or brakes? Sounds very noisy.

Please help!!

Thanks

Tire out of round? Feathering, perhaps, even if they are wearing evenly?

sounds like your tires are feathering.

how's the alignment on the car? that's usually what causes the tires to feather and wear like that.

I suggest taking the car in to a good alignment/tire shop and see what they say about it.
