I got two new Nitto NeoGen to put on this week or so and they will match the back tires. My milieage is 45k on the 2004 limited with Stern wheels. Tire or Bearings? Thx!

discount tire direct Nitto Neogen 225/40/18 I think was $118 each
I'd bet tire noise, my old front Michelin AS tires took on a wear pattern which had each block of tread worn down more at the back of each block, like a saw tooth pattern. At about 20mph it was heard as a bearing type noise, above that speed I guess it was one roar. New tires fitted and the noise was gone.
