I hit a curb during the recent snowstorm and my tire went flat so I got a new set of tires. Firestone installed them and said my alignment was fine. Right away I noticed I could feel a little rumble a low speeds and then at 30-50 mph there is a loud howling sound; the car drives fine but it is very annoying. I took my car into the honda dealership and they think it is the tires and they said the alignment was off. Can the alignment cause the rumbling and or howling? I plan to buy a new set of tires from TR in a little bit but I wanted to solve this problem first. Any ideas? I will probably get my alignment fixed first. Do you recommend going to dealership or somewhere local. I'm guessing chain shops are all horrible~ Please advise. Thanks
