hey all...
We recently picked up an 2000 V6 accord...

Everything is perfect... but just some small things annoy us...

We picked up the car and found rattling at high speed... so went to done a 4 wheel alighment (not yet wheel balance) and solved it quite a bit...

And we now discovered that when cruising at arounf 70~80km.. there's whining sound coming from wheels... sounds like echo from the tyres...

Currently the car is wearing MAxxis MA-P1 at the fronts and pielli P 6000 at rears...

What should i do and what is the most likely cause of the noise?

Tks you guys in advance!

wheels bearings?

james, for your comfort or maybe not, my accord also has this whirring noise.. from day one since i had it at 48,000 kms... so it could be bearings or just a design constraint.

i had shitty michelin pilot sport hx's which i swapped from 15" to 17"
yokohama S-drives. alot quieter but the whirring was still there. so it wasnt the tyres in the end.
