If you have stock rally trim rings on the wheels, that is the most likely place for such ticking noises. The aftermarket trim rings are notorious for such noises, as the metal tangs are weaker and some can make little contact....except when the wheels are turning.

Take the trim rings OFF and see of you still have the noises.

also these tires never made a noise when they were first put on.

This noise started occurring after that.
as I said above it wont hurt to see if the weights are hitting the calipers... all 4 of mine were hitting

I had a ticking sound and thought that a lifter was making noise on my ZZ4. Someone checked it and it was a small leak in the exhaust manifold gasket. You have a couple of exhaust pipe leaks so you never know. Lou.
