can stretch tires cause your tires to make noise.i put my 002 16x8 with 195/50 on the rear.it doesn't touch the fender. i got some use Ecsta ASX.any suggestion why the rear tire making noise.sound like going through a bad road with bunch of cracks on it.

I've never heard a tire making a "cracking" noise... you sure its not the suspension making that noise? e.g. springs?

i bought some use tires from a local use tires place.it doesn't look professional to me cause they didn't use the sticky weight instead the use the clip on weight.the clip weight were put on the inner side of the rims not the outside.thanks maybe its the crappy wheel balance i got.no wonder it ride kind of funny..feel like my lugs are coming off....thanks buddy

You bought used tires.

You got what you paid for, which is a defective tire.

I dont get why people buy used rubber, would you buy a used condom?

The sound you are describing reminds me of the sound my front tires made after I flatspotted them at an autox...

Also, they put the weights on the inside because you have aftermarket wheels and they probably assumed you didn't want an ugly weight stuck to your lip.
