Strange noises
So I bought another g37 coupe (after my g37 sedan was totaled) and i started noticing noises. I took it to infiniti and they said it was the wheel bearing and some uneven tire wear. Charged me $800 (Dealerships are the worst) to fix just the bearing. Later on, I went to a local shop and did the alignment. He was very professional and we went over what infiniti repaired (which was the bearing) He said that it is most likely a tire noise.... bearing noises and tire noises are very similar. He said to just drive it for a while.
So my question is... Will the alignment fix the tire noise? How long should I wait? or should I just grab new tires?

Look at the inside edge of the tire in the first pic. You're definitely wearing unevenly. the alignment is probably the underlying issue, but those tires will need replacing

Yeah I got an alignment and i’m about to pick up some new tires today. There’s still some noise after the alignment but not as much as before. So probably the new tires are probably gonna fix the rest of the noise?

Often if you have bearing noise you can jack up the car and spin the wheel and hear a faint noise even at low speed.
Of course this is an alignment issue...I wouldn't go back to that dealer.

This a little late but the tires were worn out unevenly. Previous owner had hit the curb so hard, that it put the car out of alignment and damaged the bearing. They also drove the ****in thing for a while so the tires were worn unevenly. $1200 later (new tires, new bearing and alignment), everything was fixed. Smooth sailing now.
p.s. should have checked all that stuff before i bought it but hey it was a bargain price!
