Re: 2003 Highlander tire noise
Yu haven't given enough info. here. FWD or 4WD????????????????? I4 or V6???
Please put your vehicle in the "Garage".
State your mileage and if yu are the orig. owner or not. i.e. what service has been done throughout it's life. etc.
Also, there are other sections on this site which may address your issue better.
I don't see why yu changed your tires out. Any good tire shop would determine if there was belt separation. Even a tire rotation would have eliminated the possibility of belt separation as the cause of the noise.
But, if yu needed a new set of shoes anyway that's cool.
I would have been a little leary of replacing with the same tire if belt separation was the concern.
But, Michelins in general don't fall apart like some other budget brands.
Also,Can yu detect with some degree of certainty which corner the noise is coming from?? frt/rr -lft or rt.
Good luck.
