hi,the tyres are brand new replacements 2 weeks ago fitted by kwikfit i have been back once and they told me they needed re balancing but this has still not altered the problem.

i don't think there is much you can do about noise from the tyres, balancing could get rid of the vibration but not noise. about the only thing you could try is to alter tyre pressure by a couple of pounds up or down.
