Front Tire Noise
First I have a 2005 STX 4x4. Tires are Firestone Destination AT and have about 32,000 miles on them. Tire pressue in fornt is about 44 and rear is 41. I have never rotated the tires. No good excuse, just laziness and stupidity I guess. Should add I live in south west PA and its now colder weather.
I noticed a low humming noise this past weekend while driving at low speed, 5-25/30 mph. The noise is not loud, kind of sounds like larger off road tires on it. Mainly in parking lots and during acceleration & deceleration. The noise is not constant and goes away at higher speeds. Also, after I have been driving for awhile & the tires are warmed up, the noise will go away completely.
I called the dealership and they said they were leaning toward a tire issue & not something mechanical. Said to drive it awhile and see if it gets worse.
Anways, stting here bored at work, so I figured I'd see if anyone has any opinion on this? Thanks.
