Dear all,
I had four NS-II tires on my 2010 Mazda3. 205/50R17 NANKANG NS-II ULTRA SPORT 93V BSW
I hit a curb with the rear right tire and replaced it.
The mechanic used a NS-20. : NANKANG NS-20 NOBLE SPORT : 205/50R17 93V XL
Since the replacement I have had loud sound coming from the rear LEFT tire. That sound has seemed intermittent for the last three months but now seems a little more constant: Either that or I just got fed up with it and finally paid some attention. The rear left tire is one of the original NS-II's.
I took a photograph of it and it looks like it may be unidirectional and on backward.
I'm trying to determine: is it possible that its the direction the left rear tire was mounted? Is it more likely that it is because the treads of the two rear tires no longer match?
What options do I have here?
Thanks and thank you all for your time and consideration.:tank:
