seem loud all of a sudden. I have inner front wear, obviously out of alignment, but would that also make them loud? I'm also poor at the moment...closing on our first house this Friday!

I had the same tires and at a point had extreme wear on the inside shoulder. Other than that, the tires would've last another 5-10k.
When I've replaced the tires, had alignment done, and it was off.

granted not the ASX tires, the Ecsta 712s, and by the third summer last year, my ears were ringing after each commute to and from work. I put on my winter tires in November, and I could hear again while driving. I probably had another 5k miles left on the Kumhos, but I threw them out because I couldn't stand them.

ke pads i noticed that the inner part of the both front tires were wearing out much faster about an inch wide on the inner edge.
i wonder if it's an alignment problem or rubber material issue?
anyone else want to think deeper?

They were useless for anything but dry pavement after 20k miles, but smooth and quiet none-the-less, up to the 30k mark. They were done after that.
If you want to talk about noisy tires, my Avon Tech M550's were like riding on mudders.
