Buzz noise after tire installation
 
Had 17" wheels with brand new tires mounted on my car (AP1) this weekend. Since then, I hear a sort of buzz / drone coming from the front every time I make a turn. The sound seems more noticeable when turning to the right., though. I am riding stock height, so it is not a rubbing issue.
I know the tires need to break in, is this where this is noise could come from? Or should I get an alignment check?

i had a similar issue on another vehicle. Buying wheel spacers for the front wheels solved the problem.

If it has been a while you might want to check out your alignment, you could be scrubbing. Could also be the tires but I would for sure get an alignment.

Forgot to mention the wheels are 17" Work Emotion Forged, offsets are +40 for the front and +59 for the rear. Tires are Sumitomo HTR-Z III, 215/255.

I just looked at the oem wheels I removed, seems the front left has excessive inner rib wear. Guess means the camber is messed up...

I would prolly point at toe or caster, especially since you get the nois while turning.
