BUMP!!! New info
so im gonna run with this and tell me what u think..when they rotated my tires the fronts went straight to the back..the rears crossed and went on the front, wouldnt that take them out of there norm?? Maybe thats why they are makin noise?? cause think if i have neg. toe in the rear the tire will have that wear too..but when it flipped sides like that now the tire ware is maybe running agianst a postive toe situation..I have always put fronts on back and backs on front Are kumho ecsta asx's non directional?? i think they are anyway would that make any sence.. hit me up with input please..Im dyin here

well the fronts going straight back and the rears crossing is the "proper" way of rotating tires but if you have directional then the only way you can but them is straight back and straight forward, look at your tires for any wear on them, usually if you have tires making loud noise its usually because of lack of rotation, as well as improper tire pressure, and your tires are probably being worn down on one side or the other or even in the middle. if i was you i'd try switching the fronts around to see if that helps.
