so i had my passenger side front tire changed two days ago and ever since that i hear a strange grinding/vibrating noise when the car comes to a stop. the tire size is exactly the same as manufacture recommended (stock TL-S wheels) does anybody know whats going on?

 

Why did you need to change out a single tire?

 

i actually had to change two. old ones were pretty worn out and woudnt pass the inspection. but the noise is coming only from the front passenger side.

 

I trust your brake pads are good? I would try torquing the lug nuts but that's a long shot. My money is on the pads and the wear indicators doing their job.

 

i just changed all brake pads a lil while back. so im pretty sure they are good. I never had this noise before i got the tires changed.

 

Make sure you heatshield is not bent, not even a little.

 

Are you running factory wheels/tires? Check the wheel weight location. They might be making contact with the caliper, some tire shops do not pay attention to placement. i see it alot.

 

Pull that wheel and look it over. And like said above check the shield when you have it off. You could even stick the spare on for a short trip to see if it went away.
