I def have more noise after my last rotation... Hankook v12

But I drove it a lot of miles for work before rotating, like 15k... so im sure its uneven wear front/rear. It has subsided some since but still louder than before. Still smooth and grippy tho.

What rotation method are you guys using...just front to back or the modified X where you move the rears straight to the front and cross the fronts when you move them to the rear?

Well my problem turned out to be a wheel bearing failure.  had nothing to do with the alignment or chopped tires.

its just seemed very strange that the roar occured right after the tire rotation and balance???

i assume a wheel bearing fails overtime and not just all of a sudden.

if any of you are hearing noises when you turn the steering wheel slightly to the left or right (along with the discussed tire roar), i would have the dealer check the bearings.  mine was covered under warranty...

Well mine are directional so I have no choice but the front/rear method.

I usually rotate every oil change, ~5k miles... just got busy and weather was godawful so it got pushed back this time
