I have a 2017 f150 on a 6inch lift and 35’ Open Country Toyo R/T. I switched from Mickey Thompson’s about a year ago and have never looked back. In the last week I have noticed a loud droning noise when I reach 55 mph that seems to be coming from the front of the vehicle, but it seems to fade around 70 mph and it’s not the normal tire noises. The vibration is noticeable in the steering wheel as well. I had the tires re-aligned and balanced just the other day when this noise started but I can’t seem to pin the problem. Any suggestions before I show up to the dealership?

 

From the way you are describing it, the noise appears to be a bad bearing.

 

Did this get resolved? I feel like I am experiencing the same issue. Mechanic said it was just the tires on the road, but I told him I have been driving this truck for 4 plus years and can guarantee it is not the tires

 

I had this happen on a vehicle I owned. I thought a bearing was going because of the noise, so I had a mechanic check it out and he said the bearings were fine and the noise was from a tire. I had the tries replaced and the noise was gone.
