Road Noise Since Rotation

Bought a CPO '12 TL Advance this past January. It came with a brand new set of tires on it (Yokohama Avid Envigor). Had put about 8,000 miles on the car and finally did my first rotation at the dealer a couple weeks ago.

We took a road trip this past weekend up to Philadelphia (about 250 highway miles each way @ 60-70 MPH) and I really noticed the increased road noise since rotation. There isn't any kind of judder or vibration in the steering wheel at all, and the alignment still seems straight as a board - the tires just sound loud.

I assume this will even itself out after I get some more miles on the tires in their new positions, but just wanted to make sure this is common/normal?

Thanks!

you should check if they did an alignment after they put on new tires..

afterall it is required to do alignment after changing out tires.

Pretty common, alignment might be off a little, or if you drive aggressively you may have uneven wear. It should fix itself in a few more miles.

Just an update on this - I basically ignored it for a few months, about 4000 miles. It never got better. Took my car in for its state inspection this morning and they found uneven wear on the inside of the tires - said it definitely needed an alignment.
