So, i had my tires rotated last week and when i got my car back i noticed that i have significant road noise now. what could be the cause of this?

It sounds like you have feathered/worn or bad tires now on the front.

I notice you have 20" wheels- are your tires unidirectional?

If not, are they worn evenly from shoulder to shoulder, and how much tread is left above the wear bars?

it doesnt look like there is any wear. i have not looked to see if they are unidirectional but im guessing they are.

I had the same brand on mine ... same issue .. run your hand both directions on both outer edges of the tires .. if its feathered you will feel it.

BTW I changed tires ..

The rotation pattern should only be front-to-back and vice-versa for unidirectionals instead of diagonal (i.e. LF > RR, etc.). The tech may have rotated your tires in a diagonal pattern.

If they are directional tires they often times have an arrow on the sidewall that points the directions that they should role when moving forward. That would be the first thing that I checked if the tires don't appear to have any wear.

tire has no wear/feathering and they are all pointing in the correct direction. man, this is frustrating.
