guys need all your help into how to solve this. |
Dude,
Your tyre size looks modest compared my Esteem's tyre upgrade (185/70R13) ... I have absolutely no problems with that size though it is almost a 2% increase in dia., not even over rough terrain... BUT, I did have to take off the plastic mud flaps! The problem is that they are flexible and tend to vibrate in the wind and my tyre upgrade meant that they sometimes made contact with the wheel... leading to a ripping / humming noise of the kind you describe.
Apart from this, since the overall diameter of your wheels have reduced, you could also be "grounding" your mud flaps when your suspension bottoms out. I have a friend with a Fiat Siena that experiences this problem when he has a full load in his car.
You can easily confirm if your mud flaps are a problem by looking at them closely... if they are getting grounded, the bottom edge would be frayed and a little "blacker". If your tyre is making contact with the mud flap, then you will see vertical lines / rubs where the tyre makes contact.
Another possibility is that the plastic lining inside your wheel arches is loose and is touching the wheels when they are high in the arches.
