Default Tire noise

I have about 12,000 miles on my Kumho Ecsta's. Suddenly in the past week they have gotten very noisy.

They still seem to have alot of tread but they just make a lot of noise all of a sudden. Does this mean they need to be replaced?

Do they feel different? Do you have any vibration?

I would check to be sure that none of the tires have ballooned out anywhere.

Check your wheel bearings too. It could be them.
