vibration from 50mph+ in steering wheel?

[cantspell]

hey there, today, literally all of a sudden, i seem to have a vibration in the front (cause i feel it through the wheel) that gets slighly louder as i increase speed, to the point where the veh almost hums... handleing has not chnaged nor has anything else, other then this noise/vibration that i get at higher speeds.

My tires are nearly gone, they are BFG AT KO 33x10.5, i've never run an AT tire this low, however it has about 1/4 of it's thread left...i would not think it should cause such a noise...

Any other idea's? I have no hit anything other than few potholes (very slight) recently.

I'm willing to bet it's your tires. And tires will get rough and noisy with age. A new set will make such a huge difference.

in the mean time get a balance.
Twice a year is good. As tires wear out they get out of balance, the end result is the viberation you feel.

I'm with Beau- would bet money on bad sneakers.

Weight probably flew off and they just need rebalanced. Good time to get an alignment.

they ahve 1/4" of tread left time for new tires, balnce, and alignment

From what I hear, the BFG AT's and MT's can get really loud when they get worn down or "cupped". My GoodYears on my 99 are noisy as hell right now too. The pass side tire makes all kinds of noise but the BFG MT's are on the way!
