Brakes Making Loud Rubbing Noise
So I just got my two front tires replaced, and ever since whenever I brake no matter how hard or at what speed, they make a loud rubbing or grinding noise. The sound is familiar, I only have ever heard it when I would brake hard at high speeds 70mph +. Just wondering what they could have done, do they need to grease the pads when changing tires?

Have your front brakes inspected.

Inspect them, if it is the same sound you were getting under braking at higher speed before the new tires (?), the shop may not have done anything to them, it may just be wear and getting worse, you may be over due for pads and/or rotors. Just another possibility with the limited information provided.

Could be warped rotors, crappy pads, loose or dislodged pads, broken pads (saw that on a Jeep Liberty, broke a pad in half), sticking calipers, bent heat shield rubbing the rotor, etc. The list kinda keeps going. You can't grease the brake pads, but there are slide pins (bolts) that should be greased with caliper grease. This is what the caliper slides along when you press on the brakes.

Are the tires the same brand as the rear? If not it could be a difference in circumference in the tires and the ABS could be acting up due to different speeds front to rear. This is another reason tires should always be changed as a whole set of 4.
