Problem overview

Some Volkswagen CC owners report experiencing severe road noise due to cupped tires, which is often linked to alignment problems. This rhythmic noise can become particularly loud at higher speeds, stemming from uneven contact between the tires and the road. Additionally, owners may notice excess vibration and shaking in the seats or steering wheel, indicating potential cupping. Misaligned tires, whether due to toe-in or toe-out configurations, can lead to uneven wear and increased noise levels, while camber issues may further exacerbate these problems. Promptly addressing alignment issues is crucial to prevent further tire damage and reduce excessive road noise, and it is recommended that owners seek professional assistance to ensure proper tire contact with the road for improved driving comfort and safety.
