I bought an early production 2015 Tlx v6. After a 1000mile road trip (37mpg avg at around 75mph!!! - very happy about that) and exiting off of the Interstate, I noticed a humming sound coming from the front...Acura dealer seemed perplexed, but they ended up replacing a front hub and saying my car needed a tire rotation badly (mind you this is at about 6,000 miles - before my first scheduled maintenance). The dealer did a courtesy rotation for me and said I just need to drive the car to help with the noise....While the humming went away, at 10,000miles now, the road noise basically remains and is definitely louder than when new. I want to blame this on tires, but then again, I'm not sure if there's more to it since I did have hub issues...has anyone else had issues with their Bridgestone tires? I feel that the dealer also realized that I was getting more noise than normal since they told me I'd have to put some miles on the car after having them rotated...

I should tell you that I had a similar issue with my (VERY WELL USED) 2007 TL-S. What actually happened was both that and a shitty alignment problem probably caused by Alberta frost heaved roads.

In any event, the tires were basically fucked. Feel your tires. Do they have any ridges or feel out of round at all? Mine had some feathering on the inside edge that wasn't going away with driving and causing excessive road noise. The solution was 2 new rear tires. Road noise (and minor vibration) vanished. I highly suggest you check your tires or have a professional tire shop assess them. If you've been driving for a long distance with a messed up hub and/or alignment, it can permanently fuck over your tires.

Funny, this issue has been prevalent lately, I thought maybe my bearings were shot when I swapped wheels and had the sound return. Turns out they're both on shitty tires that are about cooked!

Have to agree - if you had issues that could have caused unusual tire wear, that's your problem. Once a tire wears unevenly, or with feathering or undulations in the tread, it ain't gonna get better and the noise will just increase.

It's too late now, but if the tire wear was caused by a defective part covered by warranty, the tire(s) should have been replaced under warranty, too.
