Wierd Noise

Was wondering why it sounds like i am riding on oversized tires when they are factory sized tires. It honestly sounds like i have 40 inch tires? Is this an issue with the bearings that i see alot of posts about?

if its a humming noise, i would say bearing.

does it go away when you turn left/right like lane change? does it get louder the faster you go?

jack the truck up and see if the wheels have play in them.

I dont know if youve ever driven in a lifted truck but the sound the tires make is exactly the same noise i am having, Becomes noticeable around 30mph and gets louder the faster i go and when im braking.

again see if the wheels have play in them. when bearing fail, they make a roaring noise, similar to lifted trucks with angles off, but when they fail they have play in them.

I just had the exact same issue. Bought a brand new set of Michelin Crossovers because I thought my older Geolanders were shot. The brand new Michelin's make the same noise.

Took it to the shop, and yes, the right bearing was totally shot, and the left was also making noises. Had them both replaced and it's quiet as a mouse (well, a big giant mouse!).
