Here's a suggestion.... Rotate your tires and see if that tire still gets
worst.... My bet... it's the tire... tires come apart inside (very
common)... they can make some weird noises at different speeds, jump around
at different speeds..... even wobble the whole machine... sometimes they get
people, looking all over the place for, bad CV's, wheel bearings, alignment,
brake drums/rotors.... and all along it's just another bad tire....if anyone
thinks they might have this problem... here's the easy test....jack it up
and spin the tire... watching very closely for ANY side to side or up & down
movement in the tire's outside shape...the better tire companies will give
you a refund or credit towards a replacement (and they do this a lot)...
