Lol can you not just answer the question ?

Have you checked if all the wheel weights are still on?

Could be unrelated though and be a bearing/CV joint

They are 215/40r/18

So I presume you bought shite tyres since I've not had a response?

 

[Daniel M]

I dont think he realised you wanted the make lol

What sort of tyres? If they are winter ones you will get more noise. At what speed does it happen, is it constant, does it change when you go round bends etc. Are all the wheel nuts tight. Are the alloys the same fitment (size and ET) as your old ones ? What do you mean by "silent humming" ?

If you have 18" tyres on 17" rims they will make a bit of a noise......
BCT are a Chinese tyre company who apparently make copies of Hankook etc. reviews on net are, ahem, shite, they appear to be well known for an inability to balance. That and falling apart.

Lol this lad is insane

Not sure about the vibrating, but it sounds like your describing increased tyre road noise from the lower profile 18" tyre.

 

[Jarre]

18" tyres on 17" rims will fall off, won't they? I assume a tyre place wouldn't fit the incorrect tyre size anyway...

I've never heard of BCT either, sounds like they're crap though. Probably just bought really bad tyres then!
