I'm simply voicing my opinion, that's all.

BUT - you're right, of course; I'm high-handed, overly moral, and a braggart - and my mere presence here is probably highly offensive to everyone who reads this, so I'll quit posting in here.

Thanks for the lively discussions - it's been fun.

To anyone who thinks defrauding insurance companies and cheating on taxes is a justifiable course of action, please please please never complain again about how much these things cost. Also, please don't hold it against the rest of us when we stone you in the town-square.

It's a sad day when honesty and integrity are reviled as "high-handed morality".

When I got my new tires/rims, the sound went into the garage with the old tires. I also noticed that the sound would alter somewhat if I wet down the tires where they meet the rims.

As for the brake dragging the rotor, this is normal. The pads dont retract from the rotors when de-applied, rather they relax their grip and remain slightly touching the surface of the discs. The very slight (normal) play that exists in the wheel bearings helps the rotors to 'shake off' the pads a bit more when driving, but there will always be the slightest of rubbing. If the pads were to retract or get pushed back by faulty wheel bearings, the initial pedal travel when applying the brakes will be excessive, and subsequent applications would be 'normal' (the brakes will have been 'pumped up'). If you feel this phenomenon, there is excessive play in the wheel bearings, or the rotors are not 'true' (runout, warped, parallelism out of spec, etc).

You will also tend to hear some rubbing sounds after washing the car or if it sat in rain and the rotor surfaces became rusted. One or two brake applications will clear that up, it's normal, especially given some of the more open wheel designs that expose the brake rotors.
