I recently purchased a 2008 6MT with 20K miles. It still has the stock Bridgestones with tons of meat left on them.

What I've noticed is a whole lot of noise coming from the front wheels when driving. The car drives straight as an arrow at highway speeds and has no vibration in the steering wheel whatsoever. I'm assuming the balance and alignment should be fine because of this. I don't have any of the symptoms of bad wheel bearings either.

What could possibly be causing all of this noise???

 

You'll have to be more specific. The type of noise describes the type of problem.

If it's just excess road noise welcome to BridgeSUCKS. I prefer all season tires over those pos.

 

get used to it. my stock bridgestones started making noise after about 15K miles. it will get progressively worse the higher the mileage.

 

It must be the tires then. Just a shame that there is so much tread left and I'll have to look for replacements

 

It's probably the tires man, my car started making noise around 20k and the tires still looked good. I lived with the annoying noise to about 30k and replaced them by then they were bald and were super loud.
