I've seen and experienced this over and over again . Usually the OEM tires are crap and you don't really get many miles before the whup-whup sounds start. I recently replaced the rear Firestone OEM tires on my wife's Malibu (fronts were replaced earlier with another brand due to a sidewall accident). I told her I couldn't believe how she was putting up with the noise. All quiet now (all 4 tires are now the same). We earlier had an identical experience when we owned both a Dodge Dakota and Dodge Durango, both equipped with Goodyear Wrangles as OEM tires. When we switched to Michelin LTX tires (and later the same Michelin made for SEARS) the noise immediately went away and we never got those sounds with the Michelins (and their successor Michelins) as both sets were only replaced after a good long life .

My parent's Grand Prix GT did the same thing. Whenever I drove it, I would ask them how they could stand the noise. They didn't even notice it. When they finally replaced the OEM tires, they couldn't believe how quiet the car was.

How did you arrange the warranty? Did they give you discount on the new set? I have confirmed that the flapping noise and steer vibrations was due to tire warping. How does warranty work for tires? Does it need to be replaced by the dealer or is any tire place carrying Goodyears okay?

I had just driven off the lot - so to speak. The dealer had I noticed it before hand would have replaced the tires. They contacted a local Good year dealer Fountain Tire, and they checked the tires - found them warped and ordered new ones under the tire warrantee.
