new noisy tires, yokohama

hey, are new tires supposed to be noisy or are the yokohamas noisy anyway? i heard they weren't supposed to be that noisy. i got the AVID Y4S and just drove home from the tire place. they start makin noise at 60 mph and kinda annoying.

any comments?

I am not sure about your Yokohamas, but in my experience all new tires will feel and sound a little different, especiallly at first. Double check the pressure and then see how they feel and sound after about one or two weeks.

Good luck!

The reviews at tirerack.com overwhelming call the Yokohama AVID V4S a low-noise tire, so it could be something else. My Current tire is Dunlop SP Sport FM901, and they are LOUD--I'm looking for a replacement now.
