I had a new Dunlop installed rescently. The Exhaust is removed for install. The problem I have now is theres a knocking noise that wasn't there before Tire was installed. Appreciate any thoughts.

If it was a front tire I bet you need to center the axle. The rivet on the rotor will hit the brake caliper if the axle is not centered.

Is the noise wheel related ? Meaning does it change with the increase in speed.

Why did you remove the exhaust pipe?

That is not a requirement.

Now, for your problem.

Have you checked the brake rotor for any nicks that weren't there before.

Did you loosen up the 4 bolts on the pumkin when you had the wheel out.

If not, read the manual where it talks about those 4 bolts.   If memory serves me correctly it is about 8 or 9 lines below the remove exhaust pipe.     Happy Hunting.

Sorry , it was the rear tire . And no its not Rotor related.Sorry if I didn't give more info ,I got a new Lab here, he demands to much attention.Sleeping now.  Its making the noise when its sitting at idle. Probally making it, when I'am going down road. Hard to tell we have helmet laws around here. I'm thinking maby Exhaust Gaskets. They were not changed. Anyone experience this sound. I don't have access to tire equipment.So it was done at a shop. The Mechanic complained loudly about Dunlops being a Pain to get to seal.Thanks

my first thought was exhaust leak at the headers,,, I'd check there, and replace the gaskets
