tires problem

I just changed the wheels recently to aftermarket and it comes with the tires. I bought it from this forum. the tire spec are 245/35/20 (front) and 285/30/20 (rear). The problem is that it makes sound inside the cabin above 25 mph like swinging around. is that because of the tires? I know that the tires brand are not reputable, it is lion hart. it was a good deal though, so I cannot reject it.
Do I need to replace the tires to hankok v12 to get rid of the sound?
I am going to upload the video clip when the road is not crowded anymore.

Start by getting it road force balanced. Then properly torque the lug bolts. Make sure the bolts are long enough.

Good luck!

I don't use any spacer though, do I need to use longer lug bolts?

Lugs shouldn't be the problem if you didn't use a spacer. Just have them road force balanced and torqued to correct specs. Are the tires directional? If they are and are on wrong you will get that humming noise. Any vibration?

So i should ask them to get it checked again if it is directional or not. It makes humming noise and a little bit vibration. However, the vibration is really a little.

Could be but I doubt it. If it never happened before then it sounds more like something caused by your new setup. It would have to be an extreme coincidence that the bearing went bad at the same time you mounted your new wheels

Next step would be to have them road force balanced
