- '14 Explorer XLT
I had a pair of Cooper Discoverer ATR's put on the rear of my wife's Explorer this weekend and since install there has been a consistent humming noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. The front tires are the same make, model, size and are a few months old (less than 3k miles). The front of the truck is quiet but there is a consistent humming coming from the rear end, it rises and falls with speed.
I read up on the rear wheel bearings and also have heard new tires with a deep tread pattern can have some decent road noise, looking for opinions or suggestions in diagnosing the problem. I don't want a bad bearing to ruin new tires.
What are your thoughts opinions or suggestions in determining detween the two?
Thanks in advance.
