    Seems like since I put on new tires Toyo AT3 stock size I noticed a strange noise/growl from the front. Most prominent 20-30mph. Then the frequency increases and it’s normal AT noise.

    Jacked up the driver front yesterday and spun the tire by hand with passenger side tire on ground and heard a slight clicking sound. Is that just because the other tire is on ground?

    keep trying to tell myself it’s just AT tire noise that is different than I was used to. Noise seems to vary some based on road surface.

    I’ve tried in 2wd and 4wd and can’t tell if anything is different.

    I roll the window down and can’t hear anything outside. Just in the cab.

    any ideas or suggestions?

    So i'm just trying to figure out if I'm being paranoid about needle bearing noise since I saw it can be a thing? It isn't all the time it makes the noise. sometimes it's noticeable and sometimes it's not
