I don't know what type of bolts Vortex take. But there will be flat and tapered. Someone will conifrm which ones are for Vortex.

Does the noise get louder with speed? Is there a good amount of tread on the tyres?

Tyres are very good 6mm all over.

It gets louder as the car slows. But breaking doesn't effect it.
I'm wondering if it could be a driveshaft, but all boots are sealed.
Spinning the wheel whilst on the ramp doesn't make any noise.

Tyre was fitted in the wrong direction & wasn't balanced.

Was like it when I bought them.
I had 3 os tyres and 1 ns tyres.
I just had a os tyre removed and turned around.
