There are three primary factors that can cause noise from the front wheels of a 2017 Honda Accord Sport: tires, wheel bearings, and suspension/steering parts. A simple first step to check is the tires. Uneven wear on the tires may result in noise while driving. Another common issue is a worn wheel bearing, indicated by a squeaking noise. Loose suspension or steering components can also lead to noise from the front wheels, signaling worn-out parts that may require replacement.

The Continental tires on my Accord Sport model with 19-inch rims are noisy, but when I switch to winter tires, it becomes quiet. This suggests that the issue with noise lies with the all-season tires.

A Honda technician worked on this issue for hours and found that the noise was caused by a combination of Continental tires on 19-inch sport model wheels. The noise is due to sidewall flex at the spoke locations where the wheel is machined differently. The technician also discovered that the tires were under-inflated, which made the noise more noticeable. By inflating the tires to 37 psi as recommended in a technical forum article, the noise was reduced. However, there is no guaranteed solution to completely eliminate the noise. Some customers have found switching to a different tire brand when it's time for new tires to be a satisfactory solution. Honda corporate has stated that it is not a safety issue and they will not take any action regarding this matter.

If the balance of the car is off, the tires will wear unevenly, potentially leading to a scraping noise when they make contact with the car.
