2005 Altima - Road Noise

Nov 20, 2007 4 Replies

Hi - This topic may have been discussed previously, but I am asking for some advice about my mother's 2005 Altima.



She has Continental tires on the vehicle with good tread and air pressure is fine. However, when I had to drive the car recently, I noticed a very distracting road noise apparently from the tires. I know it could be perhaps something within one or more of the tires itself, but she mentioned it was not that quiet when she purchased the car.



Is this a problem that others have noticed that is inherent in the



2005 Altimas?

I wanted to know what other may have experienced and what you may have done to reduce the problem.



Thanks Bill


Hi ! Had same problem .Started around 13000 miles and got steadly worse . Rotated tires , ballance ,aliognment etc.No help . Dealer worthless .Finally replaced tires ( Goodrich ) at 32000 miles and fixed problem .I guess Continental tires suck .

Hi Flipper

Thank you very much for the information. I was going to take the same path. (rotate, align, balance, then dealer as a last resort) I appreciate you helping me save a bunch of time troubleshooting this for my mom.

I also had the same issue. The tire noise problem with the OEM Continentals is a well-documented and known problem with no long term fix other than new tires. I got new tires when I traded my '05 for an '07.

Hi Steve and Flipper

I replaced with 4 new Yokohama AVID TRZ tires and the ride is amazing. Thanks again for the feedback!!!
