Noticable humming sound at 40 - 70 mph..... similar to driving with studded snow tires! Tires are new....anyone have similar experience?
Thanks

The only humming at 70 mph is the sound of driver delight

What new tires brand/model have you installed? Some tires produce their own "unique" tire tread noise depending on road surface. For example, I've had very quiet tires on asphalt sound like I'm driving on gravel when I'm on a concrete road.
