well i need some help on figuring out whats wrong. I just rotated my tires, and now im gettin a low rumble when im around 20mph and when im slowing down basically anytime im around 20mph. I can feel the rumble on da peddles but not in the steering wheel, could it be balancing or what, any sort of info is much appreciated. thanks

maybe the wear from the rears is different enough from the fronts to cause the tires to "bite" into the road a bit differently now having been rotated. Drive for a month or so and if this is the case the noise will gradually go away.

on the ones that were in the front seem to be worn a bit more towards the center of the car, both tires. Is something wrong on my car?

alignment could be too far toe out, or your camber could be too negative. These are common to happen and neither would cause your car to pull; so you may not notice. You are probably hearing the inside treads of your front tires slapping the ground harder due to the different wear pattern on the tires.
Go get your alignment check if you like, but it is best to align your car with brand new tires.

i found from my own experience that rumbling around 20-25mph is your rotors warping a little. my rears were causing a horrible shimmy during deceleration from 30 to 25mph. did you torque all your lugs properly??

Sounds like alignment is out and wearing tires funny
First you need to address that- take it to a shop

well, i think its the tires, they seem to be worn out uneven. What would cause that to happen while they were on the back? alignment? i know its not my rotors for a fact becuase right before the rotation everything was good.

If the car was a recent purchase the tires may have been rotated so the good one were on front where you can see them- the rears are hidden more.
If you had it a while- did the wear suddenly appear?
Guessing from your mod list- you drive the car in a spirited fashon- on roads that go to Yosemite perhaps? That sort of driving?
Its not uncommon for cars in your area to need frequent alignments-just figure every trip on the freeway is rattling the suspension and potholes abound!!
Get a lifetime deal if firestone still offers that!
I have had cars that hit the rack every 6 months along with tire balance on rotation just to keep everything at perfect spec

Worn shocks can cause tire wear too- best to take it to a pro and find out
When you drop it - it will need alignment for sure

ive had it for a while, im starting to think these tires are just gay, regret getting them but just two more months til i have enough for the zenettis, these are some wanli tires or something, WORST TIRES EVER. I know that the tires are worn uneven because if i switch em to the back the its all fine, im planning on doing my shocks, springs, rims, camber kits, and alignment in like 2 months. Would it be wiser to get an alignment now then risk it? btw never had an alignment done before, and i try to stay off the gas pedal as much as i can, no burning out and i tkae the turns easy, too many pedestrians. Dont wanna risk them or myself.

Just put the tires where they dont make noise and wait it out
till your mods are on- then align and enjoy

Bring it to the track for some serious hi speed driving fun!
