That is the same problem I am having. I am thinking it's an alignment issue, bent chassis but I think I found the solution. Go to a shop that does "Road Force" balancing. I am going today to my local Goodyear and see if it helps. I didn't notice the noise/whining with my stock Limited rims. I switched to 22's and started noticing it. Do you get steering wheel vibration?

Here is a video on how road force balancing work.

I hope this helps. I hope it helps with my issue too lol

 

I do not have any vibration at any speeds, thats the strange part for me. I made the service writer take a 20 mile drive to demonstrate at different speeds. He did hear it. Unfortunately the techs are not "supposed to speed" and its most noticeable at 70-72

 

Hi ytqm,

Feel free to keep me updated on your dealership appointment, I'd be happy to offer assistance if needed. Just PM our page with your VIN to let me know!

Andrea,

Thank you, I should have the vehicle back this weekend or Monday at the latest and will update. If the noise is still there, I am going to have to act quickly to take advantage of the 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee.

I had the Dueler Alenzas as OE tires on my Yukon Denali, loved them. When I needed to replace them I went with another set, but changed from the OE S rated to H-rated and they were even better. But when we needed tires to replace the crappy OE Michelins on the 2012 MDX I immediately said put on the Dueler Alenzas, and they howled on almost any concrete surface on the highway. Peeled them off and mounted Continentals and the SUV was silent again. My Discount Tire regional manager friend said he's heard that a lot about the Alenzas.

So what I'm suggesting is that it is likely just the tires themselves. You may need to go back to your tire store and get them swapped out for something else. I love my Pirelli Scorpions I put on my Summit.

 

Thank you for the input. I just ordered a new set of Fortera's, not my first choice, but if the noise is there, then its definately the suspension or drivetrain. Interestingly enough the service writer that rode with me is no longer with the organization. ..

 

Hi Guy's
Just saw this thread regarding tyre (tire) noise. Sorry. I'm in Australia. different spelling.
I also have a 2014 Overland and suffering tire noise. I'm running Cooper Zeon's LTZ 285/50/20. They were very quiet when new and have been a fantastic off road tire for the standard 20" wheels, but now have 30,000 klm on them and they sound like mud terrains at any speed. I spoke with a tire specilist here in Australia and he said it's to do with the air suspension changing ride height on the move which would be changing the camber as well. This results in uneven wear and excessive noise, more evident on chunky tread block patterns.
Also I have notice there is a setting in the Jeep Sw for setting the suspension in wheel alignment mode. I'm sure the tire places don't know about this.
Cheers
Mike

In principle, this is true... but there's a lot of us getting even wear despite Quadralift height (therefore geometry) variations.

- Have you rotated your tyres frequently? Coarser tread requires more attention... I do mine every 5kkm.
- Yep, if the alignment isn't done at the right height you're pushing it uphill.
- Some tyres just get that way as the tread wears.
- If you do heaps of city driving, you'll not reach Aero via speed, so might consider Sport to achieve the optimum geometry.
- Hard braking and cornering will exacerbate things, even with perfect geometry.
- Tuning tyre pressure can also assist.

Bear in mind that a given tyre might have a reputation for being quiet in one size, yet somewhat noisy in another. Tread patterns do not always translate well across carcass dimensions.

Got pictures???

About a month ago I started hearing a loud humming noise from the tires(so I thought). These are Michelin Premier LTX with 13000 miles on them. Quietest tires I've had until recently. I took it to my tire shop, who installed them and had regular rotations with, to check alignment. The mechanic took out for a test drive and told me it was the right front wheel bearing. The alignment was off so they corrected that but it will need a wheel bearing. I have 53000 miles on my car which seems too soon for a bearing to go. Anyone else have theirs replaced with this many miles? I have a maxcare warranty that I hope covers this, but not sure.

 

did the new wheel bearing quiet the noise?

 

Greetings,

MY 2011 had issue with right front wheel bearing as well. This occurred roughly at 23,000 miles. It was repaired under warranty, but had to wait for parts once they diagnosed the problem. In total, I had a rental for 5 days which was covered by the warranty.

Best for now.
