Default im pissd...clicking noise on front left tire....

today i got tires put on ( used, abot 70% thread left)..its temproary tires... they look perfect and everything... they put them on and did balancing... i leave the place pay attention to the car i felt the difference it was better handeling and everything...later when i left the pool im driving home and i realize whenever im driving 10+mph i hear a clicking noise, but only when i turn the steering wheel to the right...when im going 45+ i have to turn it just a little bit to hear it...then later a few minutes later it clicks a little bit when i break and if i let go of the steering wheel while braking it shakes a little bit...i got michelin pilot premecy tires..17' 235 width for all 4..the other tires seem fine its just that side that makes the noise...anyone have this happen to them?? do you think its the tire or maybe someting else, maybe they didnt do a good job installing

It would be helpful if you stated what year the car is and the mileage. Could be wheel balancing, warped brake rotor or wheel bearing for starters.

This may seem really retarded but check to see if the lugnutz are tight. My Z made this unsual clicking noise for like 3 days. I went around and on one of my wheels the lug nuts were pretty loose, after a little turning never heard the noise again.

Clicking noise on the 'rear axels' is a known problem that is covered under warranty. May be this is related?
