I'm not sure if its my bad breaks (fixing this weekend) or tires out or balance or tires just need to be rotated....what else could it be?

Do you have stock tires/rims on your SHO? If not the tire could be rubbing on the fender/fenderwall when you turn. Are your tires 215 60R's?

I have stock rims, Tires front 2 tires are 2 different ones...same size...what even the OEM size is...1 is Goodyear Regetta or some shit like that and the other is a some no name from a local tire shop(50 buck Tire) I never thought of that, the no name tire is what the noise is too..

As far as the fender wall....It only does it on curves, if I'm making a right hand turn at a stop light or something like that, it doesn't make any noise, only when I go around curves at 35+mph

You really need to use the same tire with the same tread depth on both sides of the front. That is probably not your "rubbing" problem, but it is a safety problem.

JOEHOESHO,

I agree with Steve, the wheel bearing is the most likely problem. Check the CV joint boots for any holes or rips. A contaminated CV joint deteriorates rapidly and is another possibility.

SDPATT's advice should be taken very seriously. The two components that take the most abuse on the car are the tires and the brakes. They are your first line of defense against damage and/or injury. rangerj
