Tire Noise
I am a new poster here and would like some advice. I have 2001 screw 4x4 lariat,. I am running 33 x12.5 on it right now and it seems the road noise has increased over the past 6 months. I have had these tires for about 30,000 miles so far and the thread looks good. Is there a wear issue or am I hearing the noise "now".

some noise is probably from the tire not being perfectly round anymore. could be a tire pressure problem or alignment. if they dont look worn too uneven then may be the rubber itself. most tires are softer towards the outside so as they wear the rubber gets harder and you get more road noise. if the wear looks even then probably not a big deal. slight uneven wear is pretty unavoidable especially on larger tires
