As far as I can tell, there's no drag, and I don't hear anything while driving. It's just a slight sound when the bike is off and I'm pushing it around the back of my house. Maybe I'll have the shop just confirm it is okay when I get those tires replaced.

I had something similar with mine when I first got it. All it took to fix it was a spray of brake cleaner on the pads. Some brake dust or road crap was on them. Be careful NOT to spray on any paint! Wash it off immediately if that happens.
